    Hey Lilly!

    Linux version 7.1.7 (root@itsii) (gcc (GCC) 16.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.47.20260726) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Aug 9 23:31:33 UTC 2026

    Took roughly 28 minutes and change, with all 12 penguins on full throttle. The EuroPoint took 18 minutes, with 16 penguins, to accomplish the same.

    Дуже груви,

    I commend you for being so patient. Here, it takes about 30 seconds, with another 30 seconds (or less) to reboot before I'm back in action, enjoying the computer. No need for optimizations-at-compile-time any more these days, and downtime be damned! :)

    Regards,
    Nick

    Enjoy? Bah! I see no joy in any of that. ;-)

    What downtime? Other than a reboot there is no downtime. Only MS types, and the like, need to worry about downtime.
