P3-450 + 384MB RAM + 5400RPM 20GB HD + GCC-2.95.3 + automake-1.4 and autoconf-2.13. Compiled in a separate directory (builddir != srcdir) --with-included-string time make 1186.280u 119.580s 23:12.74 93.7% 0+0k 0+0io 2301039pf+0w size src/lyx text data bss dec hex filename 2202743 76988 49712 2329443 238b63 src/lyx du -s obj-lyx-devel/ 173656 obj-lyx-devel --without-included-string time make 1561.910u 137.180s 31:36.29 89.6% 0+0k 0+0io 2333924pf+0w size src/lyx text data bss dec hex filename 3623930 76992 49652 3750574 393aae src/lyx du -s obj-lyx-devel/ 278896 obj-lyx-devel As you can see from the above sets of figures lyxstring makes a _huge_ difference. It should also be noted that the two make runs were done on the machine with almost no other load. I didn't touch the keyboard or run anything else for the duration of both tests. You will surely notice that there is a 100MB difference between the du tests of both runs. There is also an 8 minute difference in `make` times. This difference gets even larger when there is any user activity. Allan. (ARRae)
