FreeBSD 10.1-STABLE #3 r277033: Sun Jan 11 17:07:24 CST 2015 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz (3300.07-MHz K8-class CPU) real memory = 34359738368 (32768 MB) avail memory = 33184337920 (31647 MB) FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 12 CPUs FreeBSD/SMP: 1 package(s) x 6 core(s) x 2 SMT threads The latest run was 11:43 (looks like I'm losing a little ground). This is with -j12. I can remember building 386bsd back in the early '90s on a 386 system and it taking just under 24 hours! :) Bob > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Bob Willcox | You climb to reach the summit, but once bob@immure.com | there, discover that all roads lead down.
