- This has me wondering: does anyone have any benchmarking or performance
- metric programs for Linux? I've got a 386/16Mhz w/a tad under 5MB of
- RAM and it takes me somewhere between 3-4hours to build the kernel. On
- my girlfriend's machine, a 486/33 w/8MB RAM, it takes under 10
- minutes. I'd like to get an idea of where I could improve
- performance.

- Thanks,
