It doesn't make a difference what hardware. I have 4 boxes that run gentoo |
| 21 |
(Athlon 2200, Athlon 3200, Apple G4, Sparc U60) and they all run the actual |
| 22 |
sync quite fast, but the 50%-51% takes from 5 minutes on the 3200 to 30 |
| 23 |
minutes on the G4 and U60. |

|

As I mentioned though, I don't let this bother me as I generally sync ~4:00am |
| 26 |
whilst sleeping. |
