I loaded SuSE Linux 7.0 on one box and FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE on the other. I was surprised to see the large difference in build times. The Linux box compiled in 1 hour and 4 minutes. The FreeBSD box built in 2 hours and 50 minutes. I did stock builds with no parallelization turned on for either. Any ideas as to why it would take almost three times longer to build on FreeBSD? I'm sure that there are several things that can be done to make this faster (like do parallel builds) but I wanted to get the stock behaviour close before doing the parallel work.
