Wow...  About 10s on my old MacBook Pro, and I gave up on my ancient 
FreeBSD box.

Anyone can edit Wikipedia; if you're an editor then you have your name 
shown instead of your IP address (and someone ought to fix that stupid 
"cat file | cmd" construct as well), but beware of the edit-nazis who seem 
to think that they "own" something that is factually wrong and keep 
changing it back to suit their own cultural views e.g. Kokoda Track vs. 
Trail.
