the machine has 512MB of memory.  so most of the working set should fit.
(unless i run linux.)

using the fs instead of a local fossil, i go from 12 second to 13 seconds for
compiling the fs kernel and making an iso.  i believe that most of this is due
to poor ethernet performance -- probablly attributable to the linksys wireless
"router".

i wonder if there's a way to use all of the available i/o with a magnetic disk
while allowing for media switching latency on a real worm?

thanks!
