Something wrong with your 58 second machine there Mike :-(

FC-2 which I am sure few will argue was better abandoned for FC-3
Are you suggesting that FC4 would load it any faster?
Probably but I think you have a specific problem on that machine.
I suspect the specific problem I have is lack of RAM.
I've got a dual pII-450 running FC1 that starts OO in about 10
seconds. The first instance of Firefox with google as the home
page takes about 5 seconds, another window about 2. Does
hdparm -T -t show somewhere near 30MB/sec for buffered reads?
# hdparm -T -t /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 1096 MB in 2.00 seconds = 547.54 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 66 MB in 3.02 seconds = 21.86 MB/sec
Is that close enough to 30MB/s?

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!
