I do not follow that mailing list. Looking at the thread you pointed at, I see comments from Apple, openbsd developers, and someone in the linux world. Could someone who is regularly on that mailing list add a comment about the freebsd project's experience with switching from 2.95.x to 3.x? I'm the type of person who decided I had to buy a new machine after gcc 3.x went in, because I couldn't stand the slowdown of the new compiler. To me, the cost of that was $1500 and a fair amount of my spare time to shuffle machines around. Sounds like a good reason to complain, but I wouldn't want to jump into the gcc mailing list if someone from FreeBSD is already covering compile-time performance. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
