My (single) PII-450 w/ 128MB SDRAM + U2W SCSI LVD 10000rpm disks covered a Nov. 16 -STABLE make world in about 1 hour, 15 minutes. That's _with_ softupdates and without anything of value (CPU-wise) in the background other than rc5des. And that's without a -j flag. I don't like -j. :-) > Yeah, the new box I'm evaluating has SCA LVD SCSI, and it goes a > lot faster.
