Umm... perfect opportunity to boast a bit. =8^) That's where a faster system is nice! =8^) Dual dual-core Opteron 290s (older tech now, but top of the line 2.8 GHz), compiling into tmpfs for scratch-space so all those temp files never leave memory (all 8 gigs worth of it), with the sources on a 4-way RAID-0 and the system on the same 4-spindles RAID-6. With ccache shortcutting the compilation of stuff that's unchanged, compiling pan is a while-you-wait job of a couple minutes, not that I've actually timed it. =8^) I can even recompile my entire system, 674 packages, in a day or so, and that's not fully parallel optimized compiling yet. (There's still a bug in portage that kicks off the parallel merging after the first hundred packages or so, out of 674, so 500+ are done a single package at a time, tho where the single package can parallelize, it still does that.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
