- I would assume this as a 'worst case' for compile times.
-
- On the other end of the spectrum, I can recompile in about 5 minutes
- on a 486dx/50 with 16M Ram (no swap.. needed it for storage) under X11
- with an xterm and ka9q running.
-
- In other words, compile times are going to vary greatly..
-
- (the most significant factor for compiling would, as has been said here
- before by those more knowedgable than I, probably be the amount of memory.
- Increasing from 2M to 16M on the 385sx/20 would likely reduce the time
- to under an hour).
