[cod] Some feedback on 1.41d

[Joe Hunkeler]

Well you have to consider you're running on a totally different 
architecture on a very fast and stable distro compiled (fully by you 
most likely) with 64-bit AMD support.  Not to mention some speed 
enhancing CFLAGS I'm sure.  So the people running pre-compiled distros 
on 32-bit architectures are not going to have the same speed gain, so in 
turn I believe his CPU usage results.  You also have to take into 
account of the amount of daemons he may be running [i.e. Apache, ProFTP] 
with some overhead.

Gentoo out performs anything, anyway, any day, anyhow.  I would LOVE to 
switch over to it but our stupid server company has us on a contract to 
us RHE, and I hate it with a dying passion.
