well that may be about right, it was frustrating discovering the time went down
as i removed ram from the computer, i started with 128, added another 128 times
went up so i subtracted down to 64 and it was even better than when it had 128,
i do not remember the relative times now, but what i noticed was a K6/2 400 was
maybe 18 hours on the old version and a PII 400 was 10-11 hours, both running
same bus speed and more ram in the PII etc. that was frustrating since then i
donated the PII to my mom and built others to take its place...
