For me it takes more than 40 minutes on my most commonly used machine, a laptop, and I still have not found another screen with the number of pixels and the quality of this one, although I expect such within five years. Bootstraping once took much longer and I am glad the process has been made more efficient. In any case, I hardly ever bootstrap although I try to update every day. People's milage varies ... I am not against the various new targets that have been suggested and if they are installed, I might modify my lisp expression. -- Robert J.
