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