Boring indeed. :)

Actually, my thought is that my little C160 may be simply shedding light
on a problem that's more global.  The C160 is the slowest PA2.0 machine
made.  It's one of the few machines where a PA2.0 CPU is in the same
speed range as PA1.1 CPUs.

What I'm wondering is that if a C160 is performing at the level of a
B132L then could perhaps ALL PA2.0 machines be underperforming?  It
could be just that my C160 is one of the few machines that was slow
enough anyway that it raised a red flag.  If that's the case and
something minor-ish is making everyone's PA2.0 machines underperform, it
may be something worth looking into.

Now, A doesn't necarily HAVE to follow B here, but I don't think it's a
totally unreasonable suspicion.  I may be chasing my tail, but at least
it's something to start with to help me learn the ropes.

	Kurt.
