1:15:27 for a full build of lang/gcc48 when /tmp was used, versus 1:34:25 on the same system when TMPDIR was set to a network drive. This is just one scenario, and it may go both ways. It does show that having temporary files on fast storage is significant.

But thanks for the response in any case. :) Reducing functionality if that cuts the cost of building in half and you do not actually use that functionality (only a single port does, from what I know) actually looks quite desirable to me. ;-) Gerald _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
