I have actually tried this, and it did help a little. But switching from PATA to SATA made the biggest difference. And if I had some kind of RAID, it would help enormously. > One could argue about the need of distributing cvs-cur and src-cur > and stay with the -STABLE branches and -ports. But this is just > my opinion and others' needs may be different ;-). The src-cur (which I actually use myself) puts rather little extra overhead on the system. It is like another stable branch. The vast majority of the effort is spent on updating cvs-cur. If I discovered that no-one wants this branch, that would be a huge saving of time. > Also, it might be enough to run the process only once a day. > >>> - How are the deltas forwarded out to the mail and FTP servers? >> The deltas are mailed directly from my computer to the mailing lists, >> using sendmail. > > How many people are there on the lists?
