Agreed, L2 cache makes a huge difference.
I dropped in 256 KB of L2, and the boot process only took 3:15!
It's not quite what I call "stupid fast" yet, but it's also not stupid slow...
Now the kernel is taking between 5 and 10% of the CPU. Curiously, just moving the pointer around the screen sucks down up to 50% of the CPU, and clicking anywhere pegs the CPU Monitor at 100% until the window becomes active. So there certainly doesn't seem to be a whole lot of spare processor time available.
It would be nice to get a reasonable sstem running, though. I'd really love to get it installed on my TAM so I could play iTunes through those lovely speakers.
It is actually bearable. Possibly even usable. I'm installing the 10.2.8 update and Safari 1.0 right now. Stay tuned!
Peace,
Drew
