Is this normal? On my other machine (750 Athlon, 512 > ram) it took about an hour and a half to make world, is there much of a > difference? Or is my P133 that slow? Are there any ways can I speed it > (make buildworld) up? It shouldn't take that long. On my P133, 48MB RAM, 'make -j2 world' takes a little over 8 hours. My guess is that your machine is busy swapping. Try without the '-j4' switch. That should reduce the memory demands and thus reduce swapping. (The -jN switch only speeds things up if you have enough memory to keep all the processes in core at once.)
