Just for more clarification, here is a perfect
example:

2.6.7-p1:
24.86user 51.77system 2:58.87elapsed 42%CPU
(0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (13major+7591686minor)pagefaults
0swaps

2.4.21:
28.68user 34.98system 1:12.34elapsed 87%CPU
(0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (5691267major+1130523minor)pagefaults
0swaps


Both runs on the same machine with the same process
(making headers).

Could someone give me some pointers/directions on
where to look.

Thank you for your time.
Phy
