Ok. My results were so different from every other result I saw for a  
comparable machine that I wondered why. Here's my original result:

1.25Ghz G4 PowerBook 10.4.2        53.53 real        21.50  
user         6.87 sys

Several runs produced comparable results. Here is the result I get  
after shutting down all active programs other than the terminal and  
the finder.

1.25Ghz G4 PowerBook 10.4.2        27.53 real        20.86  
user         5.61 sys

This is quite a difference.
