My 486 takes 6-7 hours to compile the world (with 64Meg/ram, and IDE drives that can sustain ~3Meg/second). P5-166/mmx took ~4 hours, K6-233 took ~2.75 hours, K6-300 takes ~1.5 hours. These all use(d) the same single old SCSI disk that can barely (if even) sustain 2Meg/second, and 64Meg sdram. -- Zach Heilig -- zach@gaffaneys.com Real Programs don't use shared text.
