Your storage might be slow, too, but I guess you got a reasonable SSD with your system so that shouldn't be a concern.
Though I'm not surprised that a significant fraction of the build time is spent in various (single-threaded) configure scripts. If I exclude ATLAS, I can build Sage in about 30 minutes. Although I haven't tried to benchmark it, a good part of it seems to be non-parallelizeable. So there are some diminishing returns as you throw more cores at it. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
