What sort of kernel compile times should be expected, with my last compile make -j8 it took 3 minutes and 48 seconds for a Generic kernel with the sysv stuff for X, and none of the drivers I'm not using. (i.e. one net card a 2940 and 2 processors, nothing much else but 1 com port for a mouse) and make -j16 took 3 minutes 19 seconds on the same kernel. (both booted from this stripped down minimal kernel) So, are these good times then ?
