What does

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz
cpu MHz : 2700.948
say on your fast box? If that isn't broken (one laptop here reacts to
cpuspeed by being permanently at the lowest frequency), what's your HDD
like on that box? How many fonts installed? 58 seconds sounds all wrong.

I trimmed useless information from the output. (Like partition
doesn't end on cylinder boundary, and none mounted on....)
I don't know how to check fonts. If you do, I'd be glad to
check. I did an
$ apropos font | less
and didn't find anything that looked like it would list it.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
