i suspect a lot of the speed improvement comes from loading the os from a solid state disk. this gives you two short pieces of cob, each with a flat end, and you can just stand them on your cutting board and slice the kernels off with a knife. a really inexpensive 1 bed, 1 bathtub in quiet south boulder for under $300k. but all my contact information is on my page. that way the activity becomes less overwhelming as it is clear where it fits on the map of making the whole. so i can strongly state that this sh*t works great.
