Hi,

I wish we could do sub-minute compiles 8)
make world started on Tue Nov 18 22:31:50 PST 1997
make world completed on Tue Nov 18 23:44:02 PST 1997

So it takes about 75 minutes to do a make world over here and
again 8)

I have a Pentium Pro 200Mhz , 48MB , 4.3 Seagate Cheetah (10000 rpms).

mount -u -o async,noatime /usr 
cd /usr/src
make clean  #if you already have a clean obj or no /usr/obj populated 
            #there is no need to do this step.
make world >build.log

/etc/make.conf modified flags:
NOCLEAN=true
CFLAGS= -O  -pipe

kernel config file special flags :
options AHC_TAGENABLE
options AHC_SCBPAGING_ENABLE
options AHC_ALLOW_MEMIO

Without the above your world build time will probably be double if
you are doing your system build on your scsi disk drives.

I suspect that mounting a /usr/obj on a fast scsi or IDE drive is 
not going to lower my performance figures. We need to experiment
to find out whats going on fast system builds.


	Cheers,
	Amancio
