That's the output of 'time ps -ef' - Yes, you're reading that correctly. It took almost 10 minutes to accomplish 0.035s of actual work.
This is on a computer that I'm supposed to be using for cluster programming. It only takes 4-5 minutes to log in, takes forever to run silly little commands that run instantly on other systems, and generally drives me up the wall.
This is on top of the frustration of trying to write a parallel algorithm that other people have accomplished in parallel and I am completely unable to understand (how to make it parallel).
