That was a full build, -pipe, /usr/src noatime, /usr/obj async, noatime. I suspect I could push that closer to 1:10 or so with make -j 4. I did my timings last summer before there was support for this in the kernel. And that is with a one spindle scsi disk system, narrow, 5400 rpm, aic 7880 on the then -current tree. There was supposed to be an article in the Free Systems Journal on this, but I've not seen it yet. Warner
