If you want more information about my hardware, just ask. I just tried it on this laptop (HP 1.2GHz Athlon-XP w/256GB RAM). It took just under 15 seconds for the first load and less than 7 for the second. I have noticed that there are plenty of programs which run much more slowly on P4 systems that I use then on other i686 class machines. If I were to guess as to a cause of this, I would pick the "out-of-order" execution optimizations (among all the other "special" things) that have not been done specifically for Pentium 4 CPUs for the the i386 packages that are installed. Anyway, just a concept. [SNIP] -- Lamont Peterson <lamont gurulabs com> Senior Instructor Guru Labs <http://www.gurulabs.com/>
