I've made similar tests in the past, and my conclusion is
that it's not worth it.
Using a memory disk for /usr/obj doesn't make much sense,
because soft-updates decouples the physical writes pretty
as i've mentioned in my original email, da mfs's were created w/
softupdates turned off
well from the build process. On the other hand, using a
memory disk for /usr/src _might_ help a little, but it
depends on a lot of things. Especially if you have a
again, both /usr/src and /usr/obj were mfs, and even async, noatime
speedy I/O system and plenty of RAM (so all of the files
can be cached) and /usr/src is mounted with the "noatime"
option, the difference is very small.
as Kris mentioned, a buildworld isnt prolly da appropriate test for
mfs, as for da chrooted /usr or da buildkernel tests, I havent really
tried them --- will try to do so and report back when i get da time
...
btw, a buildworld on da x4100s takes just about da same times ~ 18mins...
By the way, please stop writing "da" instead of "the". It
looks childish and makes your mails difficult to read, so
it might prevent people from helping you.
oops. d0h ;-)
