Just ran it for a rebuild of my entire collection (8,200 tracks). I ran
it on my desktop pointing at network drives mounted from my slow Epia
Via media server. It took around 24 hours.

Windows XP
Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 (1.8Ghz) overclocked to 3Ghz
2GB RAM (it ran just as fast with 1GB though)

The same run takes over a week running directly on the media server:

Fedora FC5 Linux (headless, no Xwindows)
Epia Via M1000 (C3 1Ghz)
512MB RAM

Unfortunately my flac2mp3 runs always have to be all or nothing. When
it tries to just update tags it renders some of the (VBR) files
unplayable on my 2nd Gen Nano (they played fine on older iPods). I
spent ages trying to get to the bottom of this (and tried many
versions), but once I discovered I could rebuild the whole library
"relatively" quickly via my desktop machine I decided to do just that
occasionally.
