~6 hours in Ubuntu 11.04, ~10 hours in Lubuntu 11.10. I agree that the
cause can't be known from this, since too many things changed all at once
going from Ubuntu 11.04 to Lubuntu 11.10. I don't have time to do more
tests right now, otherwise I would have. I'm still planning to do an
exhaustive set of tests of different Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Lubuntu/etc releases in
the future, but that's no something I have time for now or in the near
future.
