The noticeable difference is that 7.0 takes much more time to compile
all in all because of its modularity. A German magazine tested both:
6.9 took 19 minutes and 7.0 75 minutes on their dual Opteron 246
machine with 2 GB RAM (source: iX 1/2006).
Differences like that usually point out a poor interaction between the
files and the make process. [...]
As far as I know they use the wide spreaded tools automake, autoconf,
libtool and pkgconfig to prepare the build process. I'm sure most users
noticed that executing ./configure takes a lot of time in many cases. It
may be that 7.0 takes so much time because it is frequently testing
whether strlen() exists or not. :-P
