We just got a couple of Compaq 8500 quad Xeon PIII 700 boxes as daily
build servers for the XFree86 tree. I loaded SuSE Linux 7.0 on one
box and FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE on the other. I was surprised to see the
large difference in build times. The Linux box compiled in 1 hour and
4 minutes. The FreeBSD box built in 2 hours and 50 minutes. I did
stock builds with no parallelization turned on for either.
Any ideas as to why it would take almost three times longer to build
on FreeBSD?
I'm sure that there are several things that can be done to make this
faster (like do parallel builds) but I wanted to get the stock behaviour
close before doing the parallel work.
Thanks,
Robin
