Oh, its faster than the 040/060 since those topped out at 75Mhz, but at the same time, the more restricted addressing modes/instructions require more instructions to acheive the same amount of work, but on the whole is faster(the imfamous RISC debate). >Do you have any local disk or is everything NFS?

I do have some experimental kernel hacks in to allow swapping via NFS, so you can understand why it can take *days* to build stuff. -- Peter Barada [EMAIL PROTECTED]
