Colin,
For some reason, after removing everything from my system file, all my
fonts, all extensions, 7.6.1 boots extremely quickly on my Performa 600.
It's only 32MHz, and the thing boots up in under a minute (unless, as you
pointed out, I boot after running NetBSD...there is a noticeable slow
down)...
Just FYI :)
