12 Here's my machine specs:
13
14 Ultra 2 Enterprise
15 2x300mHz CPU
16 1GiB Ram
17 2x18.1G SCSI drives (SUN18G's)
18 Kernel 2.6.6

20 Now, this is while running firefox, bittorrent (73KiB / 76KiB), xfce,
21 and about 9 xterm consoles.
22
23 Gotta love bittorrent for transferring ISO images. fwee!

25 Anywho:

27 (freshly emerged version:)
28 # time sloccount /usr/src/linux-2.4.28-sparc
29 [...]
30 real: 6m18.755s
31 user: 3m28.700s
32 sys: 1m40.590s

34 What this translates into? Eh. I dunno. But my sparc is fast enough
35 and stable enough for my at-work-workstation, and it's directly connected
36 to the internet 24x7 without any firewalls. I can pretty much guarantee
37 that while it may have had hacks thrown at it, it's not going to respond
38 to any of the shell code that's out there.
39
40 Oh, I guess I should state that sloccount isn't marked for ~sparc, but
41 compiles and works perfectly. Dunno if somebody wants to tag it. :-)
