I guess I get different results here. My compiles migrate all the time.. I do remember the early versions of the software not migrating to often unless you basically forced the damn thing, but its come a long way recently...

Is this true..? Thats true, They are short-lived and IO intensive (lots of reads) which both penalize them. (snort however, migrated. ) > Can you tell us please how you deal with this..?

I'd recommend setting it up a bit harder than normally.. 2*CPU+1 in MAKEOPTS, and make sure that the compiling hosts accept 2-6 connections. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
