I just measured ffb, I never did it before, it was mostly perseption that
rasterconsole is significanly faster then OBP.
The test was 'cat 100k_file'. Results are that OBP is slower but not
much:

OBP: 		0.0u 49.0s 0:49.10 99.9% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
ffb+rastercons: 0.0u 36.1s 0:36.16 99.8% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

Big difference is in ping response time during the test
(ping from another machine).
