I note that there are some people on this list with access to machines with seriously big DRAM (.5G?) on their systems. I doubt that any one compile operation exercises more than a few Meg, with -pipe. Does anyone have a system that can attempt a buildworld with src and obj in mfs, mounted noasync (if that makes any difference)? (It may not be important. It certainly appears that the 1:20 figure is getting pretty close to being a completely CPU-limited process.) Has anyone on the Alpha port project timed a buildworld? (If the world can be built there yet.) -- Andrew "The steady state of disks is full." -- Ken Thompson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
