Ok. Now, what's next ? I understand fixing a problem with some very old
Sparcs isn't one of your priorities. Do you want to drop support for
them in 2.6 ? Or there is still something you/we could do to try to fix

The box is a quadriprocessor with 1.6GB RAM, so we really are interested
in using it : it isn't _that_ slow.
