Or am I wrong? You are correct. My mistake, I overlooked what you said about this being on 5.3-stable. I am too focused on 6.x-current due to a few system builds that I've been doing. Still, I do think it will be interesting to see how the recent -j changes will effect the benchmarking. The way it worked before, you often getting "more -j than you asked for", and I think that would have to be significant. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
