Strange. I haven't a clue. But just to let you know, I built the Linux version
from source and it was running on par with my windows version. I'm just a
happy ol' Linux user. You might need some feedback from gurus. Could be
memory, file system, libraries, etc. For example, my computer has a
Proimise-66 ultra DMA controller, but the drivers I'm running on under Linux
are only tweaked for ultra-33 performance.

Once you get a few hints from the gurus out there, I'll try them myself. :-)
