Seems slow... a 33... could be a DX or an SX though.. I can't remember now
how long the 40 took... but I don't think it took more than a few hours.. The
bigger issue was instability while compiling and having to start again. Not
sure the MUD needed a replacement kernel, but serial drivers and the 3c503
driver needed it.
