I have a Winchip C6 200Mhz machine and I load 51,802 wordlist in 5 secs
including building several special tables and calculations. I have DMA33
(can do UDMA66), 5200 spin/s, 2MB cache harddisk but this is mainly the matter
of the algorithm. Before tweaking, the time was about 50 secs...

P.S. I think that either David Cuny or Jiri Babor will win #3. Your bets?
P.S.2 Now I know what time_profiling is good for ! I wish I was registered !
