I think it has more to do with the debug options as I can see from your CONFIG file. How long does your buildkernel take? Also, is there something to time the buildworld process since I notice it has a start time but it doesn't tell you at the end, how long it takes exactly. I basically do a script /home/root/mw.out and then do the make buildworld under that. All I can tell is that the buildworld started at: Script started on Sat Feb 28 01:53:16 2004 You have mail.^M root@bigbang [1:53am][/usr/src] >> make -j4 u^H^[[Kbuildworld^M^M and then it ended at: ===> usr.sbin/zzz^M gzip -cn /usr/src/usr.sbin/zzz/zzz.8 > zzz.8.gz^M root@bigbang [4:36am][/usr/src] >> The original Willimette P4 was pretty poor in performance but I think the Northwood is better. I'm running a Northwood Mobile P4 2.6Ghz CPU which is the maximum this machine supports so I don't really have a choice and this is a high-end notebook at the time as it pretty much has the same specs as the Dell Precision M50 with 2GB Memory which I did by changing the HD, video card and also the CPU and memory. My desktop runs on a P4-3.2C with HyperThreading and 2GB and 7200rpm drives as well and that machine is pretty fast.
