I'm playing with monotone right now. Superficially it looks like it has tons of gee-whiz neato stuff... however, it's *agonizingly* slow. I mean glacial. A heavily sedated sloth with no legs is probably faster. Using monotone to pull itself too over 2 hours wall-time and 71 minutes of CPU time. Arguably brand-new CPUs are probably about 2x the speed of what I have now and there might have been networking funnies --- but that's still 35 monutes to get ~40MB of data. The kernel is ten times larger, so does that mean to do a clean pull of the kernel we are looking at (71/2*10) ~ 355 minutes or 6 hours of CPU time? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
