Very odd. I've just dug out the DVD and fired it up on a 2.4GHz AMD box. The
output was immediate - I'd guess about half a second for the whole display.
Certainly I only got an impression of it scrolling, I wouldn't have been able
to read anything. And remember that this is a Fedora Rawhide (8.90, IIRC)
with all the de-bugging code still in. I couldn't try it on the really old
laptop - at least I did try it, but I had forgotten that it struggles to read
a DVD, and I don't have a CD version.
