RAM is usually the bottleneck when linking gklayout. In "depend" builds on Windows the bottleneck is the toolchain/OS. In clobber builds the bottleneck is CPU in my experience (iirc, around 1.5 hours on a P4 3Ghz with 2GB RAM) Nickolay _______________________________________________ Project_owners mailing list [email protected] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners
