eeek!
perhaps SLIGHTLY off topic, but hopefully people are feeling generous today :-)
I have an 750Mhz AMD Athlon machine here running FreeBSD 4.1 (and Solaris 8/Intel), and for some reason, it's the slowest machine I've got, by a good margin.
My other machines are a PII 450, a dual PII400, and a K6/2-450, all of which SMOKE the 750. Compile times under FreeBSD are, at best, a fifth of what I see on the other machines.
So, the question is -- any ideas as to what could be causing the slowdown? I recently installed a PC133 256MB DIMM on the thing to try and help out, but that's not it. It's got an IDE drive for Solaris (sloooo...) and an 8ms/7200 9GB SCSI drive for FreeBSD that is no faster. Controller is a 2940. Video card is a (theoretically) smoking NVIDIA TNT2, and should certainly have NO bearing whatsoever on compile performance ....
Any ideas why this machine might be tanking so bad?? it's quite sad, really ... :(
thanks!
marc.
