My copy of Leopard arrived just in time for me to set up my home  
machine during lunch. (Yes, it was a rather long lunch, but hey...)  
and I fired up Time Machine on a nice newly formatted external  
FireWire drive. It has now been well over 12 hours, and Time Machine  
has backed up 115.11 GB out of 323.4.

In the words of Jay Leno, that's not slow, that's FEMA slow. If normal  
hourly backup time is of that order, I'll be turning Time Machine off  
and going back to my old stand by, SuperDuper!.
