I upgraded from 1.2.8 to 1.3.11 and compiled my own kernel with minimal functionality and now I can compile the small C++ library I was working on in ~7s instead of ~12s with nothing else running except the basic processes (update, klogd, 6 agetty's, ...). The disk sits almost totally idle during the whole compile now. I haven't been able to test preformance in X yet. Howver, now rc.M complains about the unknown terminal type 'linux' and ls produces no color output to the console or rxvt's. But that is another story. MikeB
