What does LTNS actually mean? =)

There is no Hyperthreading on this CPU as it's a Pentium 4-M
Mobile processor, this was what the Pentium-M replaced.

Yeah, I recall that -CURRENT on a Mobile PII 366Mhz took the same
amount of time so I would imagine the P4 would be faster since I remember
PIII running at 800Mhz or so would take about 2 hours and the Athlon K7 at
1.2Ghz was about a little over an hour. I'm using the standard GENERIC
kernel and do have the debugging options enabled.
