Hi, I have 2 machines on my home network with (almost) identical hardware. They both have Celeron 300, same motherboards, same BIOS, same options set in BIOS, etc. Same make.conf, same kernel config. I kill [EMAIL PROTECTED] before starting on each machine. The only difference is that curly has 128 MB ram where larry has only 64.
They *do not*, however have identical hard drives, even though each machine has 2 drives, with /usr/obj on the second drive of each machine. When I buildworld, I use the following command, and write the output to '$blog'. [portion of script omitted, entire script is attached as update1.sh] \time -aho $$blog make buildworld [snip] Larry can buildworld in 1 hr 57 mins. It takes curly 3 hrs 16 mins, even though curly has twice the ram. If I watch the compile, with one eye on the disk activity light, it seems to me that the process is largely CPU intensive, therefore I would expect that the buildworld times should be roughly equal. 1) How can I determine what might be causing curly to take so long compared to larry? 2) Since curly runs httpd, and vsftpd, is it acceptable to run the entire build/install process in single-user mode in order to prevent other processes from eating CPU cycles?
