Personally I've found that a higher -j can work even better, something like 8 or even 12 works pretty good. (depends if I want to play mp3s while building or not :) ) If you're not using softupdates or your FS's are mounted normally how well do you fare with 'async'? With a clean slate (without NOCLEAN)? thanks, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
