The native build time for Cygwin/XFree86 has been improved by roughly 33% from Cygwin 1.3.2 to Cygwin 1.3.3. Building a full tree, with fonts, used to take 71 minutes; now it takes 46 minutes. I believe this can primarily be attributed to one item in the Cygwin 1.3.3 release announcement, since we build using a tree of symlinks to the CVS tree (via lndir.exe): http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2001/msg00112.html - Store symlink contents in extended attribute for speed, if possible. (Egor Duda) Native building of Cygwin/XFree86 is now roughly half as fast as cross compiling under Linux, which is quite an improvement from cross compiling being 3 to 4 times faster. It was really disappointing to see my P3-550, running Linux, leaving my Athlon-1200, running Cygwin, in its dust. Both machines now build, without fonts, in roughly 29 minutes. Great work guys!
