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.

There is no such thing as a "good" non-SCSI controller. ;) -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
