Twenty minutes was OK on a 25Mhz 486 with 16M RAM, I expect it would be faster on a modern machine. The description of the problem and its effects match so well it makes me wonder if someone really has stolen some of the stuff from UnixWare as Novel claimed.. No.. the sources are different for that bit. |
