9 As already noted, startup times will be longer due to larger
10 code. You can make up for that some by setting sticky bits, at the

13 I’ll add that video processor is a significant limiting
14 factor. I thought my old computer was always so dreadfully slow
15 because it was a Pentium Classic, until I put a new video card in
