? 	It is thinking like this that led us from the 40k kernels I used to
? run back in the v6 days to the 500+k kernels we see today.

Perhaps a bit of arithmetic is in order. A V6 machine had 256k or perhaps
512k of core. Call it a ratio of 1:10. Todays machines have typically
4 or 8M. Again, call it 1:10. It takes more to do more.
