13 I haven't timed mine yet but that sounds about like mine here.  I'm not
14 sure what the bottleneck is but I have a four core AMD CPU running at
15 3.2GHz with 16GBs of ram and SATA spinning rust drives.  While I'm glad
16 to have the added security measures, it does add a significant amount of
17 time to the update process, the tree not the compile part.  We all know
18 the compile part can get big.  lol

20 I guess like everything else, we'll just have to get used to it.  People
21 will hack a ham sandwich if they can and can get something from it. 
22 That would be mustard on mine.  Some may like Mayo, which is fine too.
