One test I want to try is using the same disks on > all 3 of my systems to better quantify the difference between P5 & P6 Little bit more, please.... does the /usr/obj already exist? Takes some time to actually make all those dirs, so that has to be taken into account either by destroying /usr/obj or specifying it exists, but that a make clean/cleandepend is done. Do we leave placement of /usr/src and /usr/obj to the tester? Faster on different disks, I think. How about mounting of /usr/obj? Even if we don't force these things, we must say that they are free variables, so people know the conditions.
