Not that I want to do this very > often... I have a 386 SX/16 (no 387) with 4 megs of RAM and a 100 meg drive running (presently) 2.1.5-RELEASE. When I installed it (out of morbid curiosity), I built a kernel, which took about 6 hours. I'm now doing a (NFS) make world of the latest RELENG_2_1_0 (nope, no buildworld on that branch. Anyone wanna try backporting it? ;). It's now in Day 8 and building .../usr.bin/f2c. It took approximately 7 hours to compile troff, thrashing madly the whole time (something like 15 pageins/sec, as fast as the disk would handle). This is with -O -pipe BTW. I'm expecting perhaps 12-15 days for the entire make world.
