Hello Alexander,
My guess is that slow compilation is a result of access time misconfiguration: if a filesystem has access time enabled, then each time a file is read, the file system updates access time on disk. A solution is to set noatime option on the filesystem used for compilation.
This is a good info. Do you how this can be done on windows?
P.S. Probably of interest for disk benchmarker: disk performance depends on which cylinders are used, so if one has two partitions (one near the center and another one near the outer edge of the disk) performance on these partitions can be different.
Good point. That is why I made sure that I had only 1 partition, and i used the fasted drive in the market available for laptops. :-) saqib http://www.full-disk-encryption.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
