Hi,

    I am curious about kernel make times. Last week I had been to the
    local Unix user group (called SVnet - Silicon Valley ...) where
    Ron Parson - Sequent's  Marketing Mgr gave a presentation on
    Balance 21XXX.  He claimed that a kernel make on the Balance
    is ~3hrs.  I have seen ads by Amdahl which claims 3 minutes.
    I know that this issue was raised by John sometime back.  I 
    am on the hunt for kernel make numbers.  Anybody knowing or 
    having those number be kind enough to mail/post the numbers.

    I know that the make time is subject to number & types of drivers
    etc.  Inlcude your number & whatever other details you want to.
