Any suggestion? well.. sounds like you need to enable -pipe on the CFLAGS (see /etc/make.conf)... and you also need to pass something like -j4 on the make commandline to enble parallel building... this dropped my time bye 25%... note though, that some of those times are with some parts of the build disabled... I'm able to do a buildworld in about 5h on my k5/90... -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
