I have now moved /usr/local/poudriere to the SSD and I'm building the same jail release r292778 and the same ports r414411, but for i386 architecture. While on the old harddisk the average was 10 ports built per hour, it is now around 70 ports per hour, running 3 builders. Ofc, one has to note also that the distfiles are all already there. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, ⌂ http://www.unixarea.de/ ☎ +49-176-38902045 "Die Verkaufsschlager des Buchmarkts geben Auskunft über den Zustand einer Gesellschaft bzw. sind, was diese Zeiten angeht, Gradmesser fortschreitenden Schwachsinns. ..."
