I have noticed that untar'ing a file on an UltraDMA HD seems to be extremely
slow. Doing an untar with Apache-1.3.1.tar.gz took almost two minutes while
untar on the kernel source took much longer.
Some specs:
WD 6.4G UltraDMA HD
Chipset 440BX
Pentium II 350MHz
128M 100MHz SDRAM
Linux 2.0.3[45]
RedHat 5.0
tar 1.12
