Csh's built-in "time" said: 2158.6u 729.9s 47:03:17 102.3% i.e., more CPU time than elapsed time. Normally I'd say OK, I'm an engineer, it's not that far off. :-) But when I ran "top" at several random points during the build, it always reported the CPU as 30-60% idle. Is this merely inaccuracy, or is it genuine brokenness? (Or is there a difference between the two?) -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
