    Honestly, it's been quite a while ago and it was the first impression.

    Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter much how slowly it was 'very slow',
    once we are aware of it and commit to improve it.

    P4 4GHz is pretty soon the entry level PC while software engineering
    is still an oxymoron so I guess we can rely on the hardware to
compensate
    for what's lost during the process of de-oxymoronizing.
