Hey Vince, LTNS. :) There's a number of things that affect the buildworld times. On a P4, you're looking at: - Kernel debug options - Hyperthreading - Lock contention from other processes. 2.5 hours seems a little high and would seem to indicate that you're building world under a kernel that has all the debugging options enabled. Could you make your kernel config available? Regards, Andy > Andre Guibert de Bruet | Enterprise Software Consultant > > Silicon Landmark, LLC. | http://siliconlandmark.com/ >
