Oliver,

	I compiled sane last night and got these results

real	8m46.646s
user	4m30.000s
sys	4m5.680s

	This was when compiling for PRELOADABLE =
	PRELOADABLE_BACKENDS = canon gphoto2 mustek mustek_pp mustek_usb

SuSE 7.1
gcc version 2.95.2

	I'm having 2nd thoughts about what my box is, except I do know I have 288MB RAM and am not using any swap space.
