Ohhhhhh!!! Thanks a lot! I had been wondering why ssh'ing into my Ultra
5 took so long compared to ssh'ing into an i386, or other Ultra's
running Solaris. I even asked my sysadmin. if the UltraSparc had a FPU.
If the FPU is not used, nor the mul and div instructions, no wonder it
is slow.
But this is great, nothing that a recompile wouldn't fix :)
Cheers!
