Well, I would lay money that my crappy IDE drives are crappier than yours. :) Now that my project is "official" as opposed to "experimental" I'm working on getting some better ones. > Indeed. My dual PII-400 256MB with LVD-SCSI disks does make -j8 -DNOGAMES > in ~50 minutes. Try upping the number of jobs until it slows down. Yeah, the new box I'm evaluating has SCA LVD SCSI, and it goes a lot faster. I'm compiling -Stable and so far -j 6, 8 and 12 have all crashed, while the same exact sources compiled without -j just fine. (More to come with that on freebsd-stable when then -j 2 test is done). I didn't pay too much attention at the time, but IIRC the no -j make world completed in just under 50 minutes. I didn't pay too much attention 'cuz I thought -j would work and be much faster.
