My 486/DX66 W 20 meg tam only comes in at 2.? mogobips . 
Takes about 50 minutes just to boot up the stock 6.2 kernal .
Very slow compared to todays low end macjines ire K6-2 300 ect...

I used to use clarion for dos which recamended 8 meg of ram with only 4 meg
of ram. It toke a while to compile the simple stuff I was working on ,
Nothing compared to compiling the kernal on it. Took roghly 8 hrs with 8
meg of ram , wonder how lomh oit will take now with 20 meg. Has tha same
old slow 1/2 gig drive to it. I think thats the main bottleneck. Running
yast and top , the cpu load doesent go ovetr 75% . So I think the drive is
just realy slow.

Anyway they are still good for print server , firewalls , routers , ect...
Just takes time for them to do anything load bearing. I trashed the os ,
and now need to rreinstall it , there goes an hour and a half minimume . Oh
well , at least it doesent crash , and its usable.
