Yes, I believe this makes sense. The recommendations made in the handbook (n >= 4) date back from the time when IO was the bottleneck in the compilation process i.e. one needed to run multiple build processes in parallel just to keep the cpu busy. Today this is no longer true, so it's optimal to use n = number of CPUs. Not sure about Intel cpus with HT enabled though... regards, Derkjan _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
