    Hey Andre:

            What does LTNS actually mean? =)

            There is no Hyperthreading on this CPU as it's a Pentium 4-M
    Mobile processor, this was what the Pentium-M replaced.

            Yeah, I recall that -CURRENT on a Mobile PII 366Mhz took the same
    amount of time so I would imagine the P4 would be faster since I remember
    PIII running at 800Mhz or so would take about 2 hours and the Athlon K7 at
    1.2Ghz was about a little over an hour. I'm using the standard GENERIC
    kernel and do have the debugging options enabled.
