I'm sorry if this is covered already. As we know, running Fink can bog down a system. I'm aware that this isn't so much fink as it is the many process call-outs that happen while compiling. During this time frame, my system (G4 667 MHz Powerbook) becomes nearly useless. So this has led me to wondering: what is the quickest environment setup from which to execute fink commands?
For example, 1) I have recently started to go to the Mac OS X login screen so I can ">console" in and run fink from there. I presume there's not the additional overhead that my full Aqua interface has, but I'm unaware if this also takes a hit as the console screen draw isn't exactly quick. I suppose I could do fink install finkapp > output.txt? 2) I am now just tinkering with a terminal app called GLTerm which boasts a quicker draw than Terminal.app. Given the verbosity of fink output, does this help? Or, would the redirect I'm thinking above moot that as well? 3) What else is there?
