My P100, with 64Mb and a fast/wide Atlas on a 2940 takes 5 hours to do a make world. I do a bit more than you, I have CFLAGS= -O2 -m486 -pipe and I build the whole lot. If it was a strictly i/o bound process my P100 wouldn't do so badly since everything else is comparable or better than your PPro200. -- Dr Paul Richards, Originative Solutions Ltd.
