[Dxspider-support] PC Speed

[Ian Morrison]

At first glance the time seems to be related to the amount of memory , so I
did a similar test with the cluster here. It is running under Windows '98 on
a 486 Pentium at 120mhz. I connected via the RF ax25 link, entered 'sh/dx
vk0ir' and the total time was 14 sec. The cluster was quite quiet at the
time. I think there are many variables that will affect the apparent speed.
