In doing buildworld tests with and without the 2MB cache on a 600MHz PWS I observed something like a 10-15% wall clock elapsed time improvement. If you want to have a recent measurement please ask des@freebsd.org, he now owns one of my 2 PWSs ;) -- | / o / /_ _ wilko@FreeBSD.org |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte Arnhem, the Netherlands To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
