  I had it running on an AMD k6-2 with 256MB RAM, & it was slower on a
similar box with 7.1 & 128MB RAM.  I also have 7.2 on my P-III 500 with
256MB RAM, & it's fine -- no worse than when I was running 6.2 or 7.1 on
this box.  Odd.

  Hmm.  Though I don't extect I'll get to it any time soon, I plan to
upgrade to a generic (current stable at that time).  Did you use RH's
kernel, or a generic one?
