just can't get over the time involved. One of my workstations is a dual
Athlon 1200 with 512 MB RAM. The other is a dual Athlon 1800 with 1 GB
of RAM. Both with nice SCSI drives and Adaptec controllers. It takes
about 3 days to get a usable system with one of these machines. (Even
with -J3 as a make option to use both CPU's.) That's unacceptable to me.

Wow, 3 days on a nice system like that! In 3 days, you could do some consulting, mow some lawns, sell beer, etc. and earn enough cash to buy a faster CPU that will outperform an optimized compile! ;)


Reminds me of the time Homer Simpson skipped work to sell sugar...
