Thanks,
I have ads blocked, fairly sure that none were playing any U-tube or
other graphics,
no adobe flash.
Looking at System monitor, barely a Gig of memory is being used and
swap is NOT
being used at all. There is 4 Gig of ram.
CPU #2 is running at 100% most of the time during the atlas build, CPU
#1 sometimes
goes to 96% at the same time that #2 is at 100% - so I'm GUESSING that
Atlas is
CPU bound and I assume it SHOULD BE during the timing tests ?
I'm trying to find out what the Atlas build errors 2 and 255 mean,
hopefully that
will lead me somewhere ? (-:

I wonder if you might have run into whatever problem I had on
my Acer machine. It's documented in:
http://ask.sagemath.org/question/107/building-atlas
I never did find out what the problem was.
