Hello,

If i remeber correctly, a while ago somebody was comparing bsd and Linux
find (different machines), and Linux/other_machine was not the fastest

I just tried:
z(tty1) 6:57pm 0 root@sjoerd:~ # time find / > /dev/null
0.780u 1.160s 0:02.10 92.3% 0+0k 0+0io 65pf+0w

on a system:
(tty1) 7:00pm 0 root@sjoerd:~ # df -m
Filesystem MB-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hdb9 935 778 109 88% /
/dev/hda2 499 264 235 53% /dos/w95
/dev/hda5 884 770 69 92% /home
/dev/hdb5 349 327 2 99% /usr/src
/dev/hdb6 87 80 6 93% /root
/dev/hdb2 43 40 0 100% /boot
/dev/hdb7 261 227 31 88% /usr/lib
/dev/hdb8 87 57 29 66% /usr/local
/dev/hdc1 290 5 270 2% /hdd/1
/dev/hdc2 5552 4755 509 90% /hdd/2
(AMDK6-2/300,256MB)

And i was plesant surprized! :))

Don't know about previous kernels, but it's certenly faster what was
reported some time ago :)

Happy 2.2.0!

Argh! All right, so how am I supposed to work with Linux when
everything's already been done?! Can't these people leave some
broken MSDOS like parts so there's problems left to solve!?....
