- : : The same on Linux .5 hrs. . . gee I wonder.
-
- : Yeah right. Like I actually believe you got that guys program and
- : compiled it on your Linux machine with Borland c/c++. Hmmm sure.
-
- Actually, I'm talking 150,000 lines of code. . .my 486/33 does a full
- linux kernel in 29 minutes. I did a simple line count and an came up
- with something like 170,000 lines. . .so the number is just an
- estimate but a fairly accurate one I'ld guess. . .
-
- : But I bet it would compile faster on a Linux under GCC though.
-
- : Can ne1 verify if GCC on a linux or Borland on Win95 is faster?
-
- I would guess that GCC on linux, especially with something like
- kswap installed, would run circles around even a Win95 native
- compiler. Linux (probably most un*x's) has a much cleaner and more
- efficient task switcher.
