Got some curiuous results when I tested this today by the way. I have a twin processor PIII machine. Did a parallel compile on it. The actuall wall clock time is faster when I add the 586 back in. *but* if you look at the user and system times, the user time has dropped slightly, but the system tme has gone up a lot. So its doing more work, but with a slghtly greater amount of parallelism allow it to finish faster in real time. Can anyone explain that ???? -pete,. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
