If anyone has any explanation, why `dakol` is 20x faster than the other computers, please write it here. Is it because of the position of the disk partition, or that it's larger? `pc232` is full, but the other computers have around the same disk usage. Note: `/var` and `/tmp` is on the same partition on all computers.
