- Not to be glib, but faster processor, 8 more MB of RAM and
- a fast IDE or SCSI interface. Make sure you have a
- permanent swap file, turn off optimizations and make sure
- you have a temp or tmp environment variable. Keep your
- temp files on a different drive from you swap file. Also,
- make sure you are not executing any files from the CDROM.
- On my pentium 120 with 32MB RAM and all the doo-dads, a
- rather large project (1.5M Lines) takes about 45 minutes
- to an hour. You ten minutes sounds pretty good to me.
