I believe Dave's kernels had only rmap > applied, however. This is correct, and believe it or not i'm even using 2.4.19 + rmap15a, no other patches. I don't have my hard numbers available, but the difference between builds was quite significant, something like: 2.4.19 vanilla: real 85m 2.4.19-rmap15a: real 102m > I used ccache with these builds and they are almost entirely cached > (the big exception being gcc), so the job becomes fairly I/O-bound as > a result. The builds are quite big: the CVS tree unpacks and builds > about three hundred megabytes of source, resulting in a build > footprint of approximately 2.9GiB. This applies to me as well. >The volume I used for the build is > formatted as ext3, with htree activated. My build volume is formatted ext3, no htree. -- =================-------------------------------========================= | Dave Barry | All the freaky people make | dave@zork.net | | ... | the beauty of the world. | http://psax.org/~dave | | | --Michael Franti | | =================-------------------------------========================= -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
