- I have a 486/33 w/ 10MB of RAM, RLL hard disk controller. I
- have self-compiled version 0.97p1 of the kernel (with the
- grow-buffer fix). No swap space. The GCC provided in the
- MCC 0.96 interim release.
-
- As a crude benchmark I timed the recompile of the kernel several
- times. (ie make clean; make dep; make all)
-
- I was very, very pleasantly surprised when the first compile took less
- than 12 minutes -- more than 3x faster than under 0.96c!
-
- However, imagine my surprise when each subsequent recompilation was slower than
- the previous one! About the third or fourth time make quit with
- an error. Each time the conditions were precisely the same -- no other VCs were
- in use -- my assumption is that the only change was caused by the previous
- compilations.
-
- I have no idea what's going on and would appreciate any input! :-)
- (The smiley is to indicate I'm not complaining and half-expecting
- that I've done something bone-headed)
-
- thanks to all
