On a 2.16 GHz MacBook Pro, I get:

loon:~/Desktop gray$ time tex texbook.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.5)
[...snip...]
Output written on texbook.dvi (494 pages, 2030580 bytes).
Transcript written on texbook.log.

real    0m1.514s
user    0m1.399s
sys     0m0.087s

So, I am assuming that to compare this with the numbers presented on  
Blue Sky's web page, I should add the three times above to get 3.000s  
-- is this correct?
