Ok. I understand your point. To be honest, I haven't yet tried ubuntu 64 bits, 
but only 32 bits one, which appeared fast to me, but I am not confident with 
Debian packaging system. Sure, I'll give it a try.

Suse team may have modified the toolchain to be consistent with the filesystem's 
organization, but that's true that any filesystem's evolution is slow and heavy 
inside the distro.

Anyway, thanks you for your patience and your time.

Best Regards,
Gilles
