Ah.  I haven't been doing that.  Will do it for these two runs.  The
power on the system I'm doing it on will be out while I move it to its
new home, so it won't be this afternoon :-).

OK.  I'll write up something for the handbook.

Yes.

BTW, this sounds like you had in mind more than I'm doing.  I'm going
to just run 4 or so make worlds on the same source base with different
settings on my machine.  I'm not going to try different disks (because
I don't have anything faster/slower) or other CPUs or other SCSI
controllers.  Just a "Here's the relative difference that this or that
or the other thing made to the run" on basically constant hardware
(but I will do the overclocking thing too).
