I upgraded from my DX4, but I can give you some timings from a DX2-66 in a day ot so.

My machine is currently Cyrix M2-200/430TX/32MB RAM. I am using GCC 2.7.2.2 and
libg++272.

lpsg:~/proj/deity/deity/clients/cmdline$ time ./dpkg-cache add cache
/var/lib/dpkg/available:hamm:1.0 /var/lib/dpkg/status:status:1.0

/var/lib/dpkg/available:hamm:1.0
/var/lib/dpkg/status:status:1.0
1642 Packages, 1504 Versions, 3800 Dependancies.

real    0m7.404s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

Quite slow...

Thanks.
