Well, either I need a very fast CPU, or a more clever approach. > I guess we'll see... How hard would it be to distribute this? ISTM it would just be a matter of providing kernel config files for machines to try, and the machines would need to report back what happened. You could probably assume that any error meant an invalid config. http://pgbuildfarm.org is a distributed build system used by PostgreSQL that might be of some use (though I don't know if the server code is available). There's probably other systems out there that might be of some use. -- Jim C.
