Subject:   make buildworld run twice as fast
Message-ID:  <438F68ED.7000709@sbcglobal.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I recently rebuilt my FreeBSD system from sources and it took around 2 
hours on an old PIII 800MHz pc to run "make buildworld".  If I include 
the -j option to run multiple processes as once such as "make -j2 
buildworld" does that mean it would finish in half the time?
Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences with this?
Thank you,
Jose
