Dell Latitude D810 2GHz Centrino 2GB Ram 80G SATA 2.6.19-suspend2-r1 But, OOo is a well known resource hog that really stresses a machine when compiling, so I don't think it makes a useful measure of anything. And KDE-meta isn't much better these days either. Yesterdays sync brought in 3.5.6 and 3 or 4 other bits and pieces, which I started at 1am this morning. It's just finished now at 1pm - 12 hours! But having said that, I've noticed that this kernel gives really slow disk IO which I haven't managed to track down. It feels less than half the speed I got on 2.6.18.*, and my three year old desktop with a similar world runs 'emerge -avuNDt world' twice as quick. I'm almost ready to give up on .19 and go back to .18 till .20 comes out. alan
