[ale] new PC upgrade

[sad at sduchene.mindspring.com (Steven A. DuChene)]

	They say the best bench marks are timing things you actually
	do with your computer and as such I would say in this group
	at least that timing a compile of a Linux kernel would be a
	good measure of system speed. If you like I have a simple
	script that lets you do exactly that by echoing the date command
	to a file in between each of the steps for a kernel compile.

	BTW, on my system as I told you at the meeting the actual compile
	time for a 1.2.10 kernel (the make zImage step) is just over 10
	min. so you should be able to better this by a min or two assuming
	you have at least 16Mb of memory also.
