I haven't been doing that. Will do it for these two runs. The power on the system I'm doing it on will be out while I move it to its new home, so it won't be this afternoon :-). : Also, what I would like to see done is for the results to be published : in a web page preferably FreeBSD.org . It should include hardware : setup , anything special in the way of hardware optimization, mount : flags, make world flags. Comments on which options or features : improves the most for instance -pipe vs. async , etc... OK. I'll write up something for the handbook. : If we do a good job , it will go a long way to establish a base : level performance at least with respect to make world. Yes. BTW, this sounds like you had in mind more than I'm doing. I'm going to just run 4 or so make worlds on the same source base with different settings on my machine. I'm not going to try different disks (because I don't have anything faster/slower) or other CPUs or other SCSI controllers. Just a "Here's the relative difference that this or that or the other thing made to the run" on basically constant hardware (but I will do the overclocking thing too). Warner
