I need to read the man pages every once in a while.  I don't recall
seeing that there last I looked.  Still, it also includes when I install
from a pre-built binary which takes only a few seconds or a minute or
so.  That throws off the average a bit.  Sometimes a upgrade goes a
little sideways.  When doing it in my head, I ignore those.  Still
interesting to know about the -i option tho. 

Going by the output of the -i tho, Seamonkey only takes a little longer
than Firefox.  Of course, I've had to go back to a pre-built binary a
couple times with Firefox recently.  Accounting for that, I suspect they
are roughly the same. 

Thanks for sharing the -i info.  Interesting.
