I think it's the same one Heiko posted last week. You might want to go into make menuconfig, Build System Configuration, and increase the Parallel Build Jobs number to take advantage of your hyperthreading. I'll be very interested in your result, to help me determine if I should upgrade. Thanks!!! > ... but you must consider the efficiency of your hd sub-system (udma, > u2w scsi , 7200 rpm, 10000 rpm ...) > before making any comparisson as it is intensive with disk I/O ... Understood. My Athlon has a 3ware SCSI-to-IDE controller with 7200 RPM disks. My 1.7 P4 has an Adaptec SCSI controller with 7200 RPM disks. > amount of ram should influence too My 1.4 Athlon has 512MB, my 1.7 P4 has 1GB of memory. Did I mention the Athlon compiled everything 5 minutes faster? :-) - BS |
