The Gentoo kernel would have made a big difference. Also, gnumeric is |

plainly a dog. They also did not take into account that Mandrake uses |

prelink on all of its binaries by default. This decreases load times |
| 9 |
significantly and makes for a "snappier" system. |

Once again, the OpenOffice thing is a result of prelink. |
