Hi...

And thanks for the suggestions.
I have now tested with -j option and i can confirm that my expectations are correct the Dual CPU dual core AMD completes the buildworld with -j4 in one hour only, while the intal core 2 does it in 1h30m

should i stick the -j option in the make.conf?

If I read you right, you didn't ``make -jX buildworld'',

so you used just one core on either machine.
Buildworld does a lot of I/O, so disk speed is relevant.

Yes, i just made "make buildworld".

So i should use make -j2 on the S1(dual core) and -j4 on S2 (2xdualcore)?

And it also makes sense what you say about the I/O.

It really depends on the system.  On my dual-core systems, I use
devel/ccache and found that -j8 gave the best performance.
