Dual PPro/200, one with 512K and the other with 256K. My IDE drives are generally very fast also. I haven't had a chance to "make world" recently. I have another dual PPro, running at 233, but both with 256K of cache. It has only a single drive (barracuda.) I should probably consider doing a "make world" again, carefully controlling the experiments, also doing some performance analysis beyond just the user+sys times. I guess that it is getting fast enough to casually do the makes now :-). When the machines can do "make world" in about 10mins, then I think that more people will be doing it. Imagine a "make world" in the time that a bonnie or iozone takes now :-). -- John dyson@freebsd.org jdyson@nc.com
