I've used lzo2 quite a bit in the past and never saw this, so I  
thought I'd try this on a few boxes we have... Output is from "make  
fetch ; time make"

None of these boxes were idle, so relative times are pretty useless,  
but i'm not seeing anything on the order of tens of minutes or hours.  
Is the source .tar.gz identical on all your systems?
