CPU Speed vs FreeBSD make world time
Yesterday I upgrade my machines to FreeBSD 4.11-RC2
Machine 1: Celeron 633 with 256MB RAM
--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> elf make world completed on Wed Jan 5 21:58:57 CST 2005
(started Wed Jan 5 20:36:49 CST 2005)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Elapsed: 1:22:08
Machine 2: Celeron 2.6G with 512MB RAM
--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> elf make world completed on Wed Jan 5 22:51:40 CST 2005
(started Wed Jan 5 22:16:20 CST 2005)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Elapsed: 35:20
Machine 3: Pentium 4 1.90G with 512MB RAM
--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> elf make world completed on Wed Jan 5 23:23:22 CST 2005
(started Wed Jan 5 22:54:52 CST 2005)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Elapsed: 28:30
Conclustion:
Machine 2's CPU clock is faster then Machine 3's,
but Machine 3's build speed is faster, so the CPU cache is important.
