It is a quad 1.8ghz opteron, with U320 10K SCSI drives.  My dual
2.8 xeon takes 9:06 to build this same book, so the opteron is
faster.  Note that this is less about I/O and more about raw computing
power since Linux is good about reading in advance on sequential access.

Enormous is about 1.0 gigs of PGN, roughly.
