Hmm...

I do a make world in about 75 minutes -- I just didn't do profiled libraries.

My system:
PPro 200mhz 48MB, Seagate Cheetah 4.3GB UW (10000)

/usr mounted async noatime

CFLAGS= -O  -pipe

I noticed that my system is very cpu bound when I do a make world.

So it will be very nice to find out what a dual PPro 200Mhz system with
fast disks can do .

	Cheers,
	Amancio
