I previously mentioned my adventures upgrading a Pentium 133 from 2.2.5 to 4.1.1, but I'm noting some odd behavior with the length of time it takes to buildworld: -Running 2.2.5, buildworld to 2.2.8-S, ~11 hours -Running 2.2.8-S, buildworld to 3.2-S, ~12 hours -Running 3.2-S, buildworld to 3.5-S, ~12 hours -Cheated, ran buildworld on a PII-350 for 4.1.1-S, 1 hour, 54 minutes, then ran installworld over NFS -Running 4.1.1-S, buildworld 4.1.1-S, 74 hours, 53 minutes. Now, I couldn't see that buildworld for 3.5-S would take 12 hours, then on the same machine, buildworld for 4.1.1-S would take nearly 75 hours. Besides the upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1.1, the only change was that I mounted all non-root partitions with softupdates enabled. So, I disable softupdates on all partitions and try again. Now it only takes 44 hours and 30 minutes to buildworld. Only, ha. So what's happening here? Softupdates slow down buildworld? 4.1.1 does buildworld slower than 3.5 and earlier? Or 4.1.1 buildworld takes a lot longer than earlier versions? Or my system is just weird? Not a matter of life and death--the system seems to be running happily, buildworld completes, etc, but just curious as to why it's taking so much longer for 4.1.1 buildworlds...
