Downloading the main source tarball and the Mozilla tarball that it uses does take quite a while. Compile times depend mostly on the speed of the processor, amount of memory and the speed of the hard drive. It took my P3-800 laptop with a 4200RPM hard drive over 12 hours to compile. My P3-500 with 256MB of RAM and a 7200RPM hard drive took over 20 hours to compile. Then on my dual Xeon 2.4 under 5.1-RELEASE (SMP enabled) took under 4 hours to complete the build and install. For me, I definitely notice a nice boost in the program's response when building it from ports compared to using the latest binary package. --=20 Linh Pham question+advocacy@closedsrc.org Webmaster and FreeBSD Geek http://closedsrc.org Apprentice Manager Editor and Writer http://www.daemonnews.org Courage: The things I do for love | And So Western Civilization Crumbles --vtzGhvizbBRQ85DL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/hxQLwhofDeWkDMIRAvEFAKCJwerMCVkD3dki7YIgqygVJ7+eHgCfVmQZ p3rz8Z4ewUJwz+0f7ih7rig= =FcdI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --vtzGhvizbBRQ85DL--
