I noticed a reasionably performance increase when I upgraded my laptop to a 5400RPM disk. When you consider the less then stellar performance of transmeta CPUs, I can't say I think those numbers are totally out of line. That does see a bit worse then I'd expect, but not outside the relm of possiability. It seems like the right answer for blade servers it probably to do the build on a more powerful server and then mount /usr/src and /usr/obj over NFS for the upgrades. If that's possiable in your environment, I'd strongly recommend it. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
