I just compiled Wine <http://www.winehq.org> on my new system which is an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 with 4GB RAM. This was a test to see how much faster the system is compared to my old system which was an AMD Sempron 1800+ with 1GB RAM.

On my old Sempron system I could compile Wine in about 57 minutes, and using the "time" function the user time plus system time would add up to the real time.

On the new system I get this:

real    13m21.976s
user    16m36.131s
sys     1m35.007s

I like the fact that the new system is much faster but I'm puzzled by the user time being more than the real time. Is this an artifact of there being two cores? Does the time function add up the user and system times for each core? The man page for "time" is lacking.
