Good point. A last example to explain the feeling of slowness: aptitude. To avoid differences in package lists, I ran `aptitude full-update' in an up to date sid cowbuilder (yes, there can be smarter system for benchmark, but on the other hands we can expect some kind of standardness). On a dual 2GHz G5, the command takes around 4.1 seconds to complete. On a Core2Duo 2 GHz (amd64), it takes around 1.5 seconds. With my lack of technical knowledge, I am obviously going nowhere. But I hope that I can trigger the curiosity of somebody who would eventually find "someting missing" in the default config of powerpc machines… Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
