    Does this mean the behavior of
        find /usr/src -name .\#\* -o -name \*.orig -print
    followed by
        find /usr/src -name .\#\* -o -name \*.orig -print -delete
    after looking at the output on an idle system does change (assuming the
    system is below minvnodes)?

    Actually the first command needs a little bit of time with a slow disk, the
    second one is very fast compared to the first one.

    Bye,
    Alexander.
