Sadly Solaris seems to have the same problem. I have a Sun Ultra-60
which once seemed like a nice box. Sadly it no longer is. It takes
around 30 minutes to build the Hercules emulator.
The current Windows/7 box will build Hercules mainframe emulator (32 and
64-bit binaries) in under a minute. Whilst I like the U-60 I think its
un-usable....

Anybody who knows enough to have a good modern computer that can run
current Windows, can tell you that they get slower and slower. Rebooting
will help a little, and re-installing the operating system helps, but
eventually the computer doesn't work because it slows down too much. And,
as they get older, they have TOO MANY viruses.
