that's fine if your idea of the world is developer minutes. But there's
this other thing called "the guys who pay the bill minutes", i.e.
(l)users, and they are less willing to take slower systems.

Anyway, I am not taking exception to the decisions behind Plan 9 *in it's
current state*, I am merely asking: now that we have a model for an OS
that looks like a far better model than what *nux* offers, can we speed
that OS up to be competitive without destroying it? Or is what we have
about as good as it will get?
