void> 2. get good cooling and clock the cpu. Mine is clocked to 2.1GHz. Thanks for the tips (1) to (6). I do have a heatsink for the device. Temperatures were around 45C during the build, as measured using 'sysctl dev.cpu.0.temperature'. void> I forgot to ask - why are you using -j3? I use -j4 or -j6 No particular reason. I was playing around with various -j settings, and -j3 just happened to be the last one used. rolf> Are you operating your RPi from a =E7=8C=B6D card? Yes. % dmesg | grep mmc mmcsd0: 16GB <SDHC SC16G 8.0 SN 027A0D54 MFG 03/2020 by 3 SD> at mmc1 50.0MHz/4bit/65535-block rolf> That said, your build speeds could be vastly improved rolf> if you attach an external SSD to one of the USB3.0 ports of rolf> the RPi, and run buildworld on that one. Noted. dave> SD cards are generally very slow and I have had them take dave> a day+ to build. Thanks for confirming. I'll try with an external USB drive. Thanks, Joseph Koshy
