How do you get such a speedup?? I exited KDE, replaced the glibc, cleared the 
cache and logged in again (measuring the same thing as you), but there was no 
speedup. I have SuSE 9.0, Kernel 2.4.21, and Athlon XP 2000+ with 768MB RAM 
(DDR 266) and a Maxtor40 GB HDD working in UDMA3 mode (if I use something 
above it freezes the PC when I watch TV), for which: "Timing buffered disk 
reads:   84 MB in  3.03 seconds =  27.76 MB/sec".
