Yes.  Did you test it on the SF compile farm?  Those machines
are faster/less loaded, so build/test cycles are faster.

You can post a patch on SF and assign to me if you'd like.  The snake
farm can test on AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux/Alpha.  The SF compile
farm has FreeBSD.  You can also join the HP (Compaq) test drive
program to test on Tru64 (OSF/1 on Alpha), HP-UX, *BSD, Linux, etc.
Test drive info can be found here: http://www.testdrive.compaq.com
