...Snowie... had already taken 5 hours... (Not meant to take out of context. Your point was that computers were a LOT slower 10 years ago.)

I've heard that argument before and I understand it. I just don't happen to agree with it. When posting a (likely to be) controversial position for all the world to see, the responsible thing to do is to pull out all the stops.

But this comes from a person whose standard rollout time is measured in days, not hours.

Oh, BTW, my 1296 trial level-6 var-red JF3.0 rollouts of the three candidates took about 5 minutes on my third fastest (four year old, Athlon Mobile 2500+ running at half speed to prevent overheating :( computer. I actually have a mothballed P-233 which I *could* drag out and run this same problem, if I really wanted to find out how much time it would have cost the Bay Area Boys. (No hidden meaning intended, even a day after the National Gay Pride marches. :)
