I just did a make world on a P133 system and it finished in just over
3 hours.  That is with EVERYTHING installed from the 2.1R dist except
XFree.  Rebuilding the kernel took just over 5 minutes.  I am
impressed. :-)  Maybe Intel will fix the orion chipset soon and we
can get a real test of a trick P6 system.  :-)

System:

P133 (Micronics mboard)
64mb RAM
256k cache
Buslogic 946C
Conner 4207S disk

Nice job folks!

Chris

p.s.  Is there a viable alternative to Intel for p6 chipsets???
