Cc: smp@freebsd.org, gshaffer@cod.nosc.mil Sender: owner-freebsd-smp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I did a make world (-j12) yesterday after applying the patches I got from Jordan. I was very, very, very impressed with the speedup! Unfortunately, my system spontainiuosly rebooted in the middle of the compile (I have not had a chance to look into this yet) so I could not get any timing data. Greg Shaffer >Has anyone else gotten a chance to do a make world with the new Makefiles >that are -j safe? I did last nite, and noticed that a complete world >(install and everything) was over an hour faster for me. Right now I am >doing a make buildworld with a clean /usr/obj to test that out. Also, the >make I did last nite only had -j 4, the make buildworld I am doing now has >-j 12. I have a Tomcat II with dual 133, 64MB, EIDE disks.
