A Pentium 1200, eh?
More like Pentium 120 or star just doesn't cut it.
--Athlon 1GHz:
kala@nibbler:/tmp/1$ time tar xjf rock.tar.bz2 real 3m19.703s user 0m9.870s sys 0m24.840s
According to top, the system was ~90% idle during the extraction. Linux 2.4.19-rc1-ac3, reiserfs 3.6.

PS. Solaris is over 60% slower than Linux 2.2/2.4 in common fs operations on my SMP SPARCstation 10. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
