I find a 4.1.1 BW takes 36xxu and 1:23 of >clock time on my P-II 400 with 256MB of memory and UDMA33 HD's. You >p133 should be about 6x or more slower as a guess.

FYI, I just built 4.1.1-STABLE on my P133 running 4.1-STABLE, 32MB memory, 256MB swap, and it took about 6 hours (359 mins, as I recall). I can confirm that number if you think it would be helpful. Softupdates are off. Separate disks for source and object (an articact, not an intentional performance enhancement). dmesg and other info on request. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 iD8DBQE53s7MaUz3f+Zf+XsRAjpRAKCzqlgESANxS20IhRJD4T5T6KEIHQCeN691 51qVGFUIwncCPpeainXFGQw= =2xnD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
