Actually, just looking, the Athlon 600 rebuilding 2.2.5 from RH 6
took him 3 mins (just for the bzImage)...

Now, IIRC my Celeron 450 took ~6 mins to rebuild a kernel
(I'm doing this from memory, so it may be wrong)... Kate, Phil,
Vin, how long does it take you to rebuild a kernel?

(for dual processor, make -j8 is empirically the fastest :))
