You might try switching it on for a week and see if YOU notice any difference. If it doesn't seem to do anything for you, then just turn it back off and leave it be. I suspect you will see speedup in your compiles and extractions. Anything that has a lot of disk write activity is likely to be sped up by enabling the wc, but how much speedup you can actually feel will depend on your machine and you. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
