I used to have a qmail queue on a Solaris 8 box. qmail-qstat, which is basically a script that calls find and then pipes the output to awk, took ages to run whenever the queue is stuff by crap. Installing GNU find and changing the script to use that made it possible to finally get the number of mails in the queue. Before I was informed of the speed difference between using the dumb Solaris provided find and the GNU find, my impression of a Sun box + Solaris 8 was: 'this sucks, it is SO VERY SLOW'.
