Observational humor



I'm compiling a custom Linux kernel.  Sort of walking down memory lane as
it were. Can someone please explain to me how doing this in 2009, with a
very fast dual core CPU and very fast SATA disks takes LONGER than it did
back in 1999 (10 years ago)? (rhetorical question)

I mean come on? How much faster are systems today than 10 years ago? Has
the Linux kernel REALLY grown that much?
