Compiling Linux 2.0 with default config:
K6-2 333, 192MB EDO:
3:38 make vmlinux
3:40 make -j3 "MAKE=make -j3" vmlinux
Dual PPro 200, 192MB EDO:
4:06 make vmlinux
2:24 make -j3 "MAKE=make -j3" vmlinux
Presumably a K6 400 is 20% faster than a K6 333. Probably more
than that if you'll be using 100MHz SDRAM.
