Yah, but buildworld is all we can really do on test boxes. We will have to wait for people to try these things on production squid, news, and web server systems to get real-world numbers. The timing difference is 1.1%. On two identical machines I got 1564 and 1553 seconds with the same config, which is 0.7%, so I expect the std-dev is going to be, what, 1.4% or so? I'm running some comprehensive buildworld tests now using /usr/bin/time -l and will post them when they finish. These are very fast machines: 26 minute buildworld on -stable! So I don't expect this to take very long. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
