Hmm.  That's a big difference in favour of Begemot.

It's not 100% accurate.  On my machine, it loses a few minutes a day.
But all the numbers add up, and it didn't lose noticably more time
during the build.

I'll put some stuff together.  I've exchanged some mail on the
subjecte today with Jörg Micheel, one of the authors.  Hartmut Brandt,
the other, is in Germany and thus probably sleeping.  The version I
have him includes images for 2.11BSD, which I can't give to anybody,
though I suppose we can make an exception in your case :-)  I'll see
what I can put together.
