Greetings! Can someone tell me how much quicker FreeBSD runs on the Amd64 platform for compiling worlds and or make release? Currently I can build release on a Pentium 4 3.02 ghz in about 40 minutes (without ports) and would like to get this down to around 10-15 minutes (or even 20). Second question: If you had to buy a couple of FreeBSD builder boxes for building releases and testing only, which platform would you go with: Amd64 or the Opteron? Third question: Can the x86 codebase be cross-compiled while running under 64 bits? Ultimately I am making x86 releases. Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer! -SKU
