[root at gorilla tmp]# cd /home
[root at gorilla home]# time find >/dev/null

real    1m28.762s
user    0m0.130s
sys     0m0.670s
[root at gorilla home]# time find >/dev/null

real    0m48.801s
user    0m0.110s
sys     0m0.330s

Now, if I will copy-paste the output of find here (instead of
/dev/null), it will take you more then 48 seconds to scroll through it.
