>[Various people on what should comprise the definitive worldstone...] Unless everyone has identical configurations (which would kinda miss the point), it's not going to be possible to level the playing field. Eg: - -pipe and/or -jx don't help unless you have enough real memory - multiple spindles seem to help a lot: I got well under 2h (not accurately timed, unfortunately) burning in a K6-200 with 2x4.4G Quantum Atlas on a 2940UW - do the rules allow turning off daemons to free up memory while building? Also, the target time (whatever that is) is going to change over time. I've seeing significant changes in build time on the same machine with the same options over a period of months: I may post something on this subject. -- Bob Bishop (0118) 977 4017 international code +44 118 rb@gid.co.uk fax (0118) 989 4254 between 0800 and 1800 UK
