Thanks to everyone's suggestions, especially the one by Stuart Henderson about
updating the bios, I am now able to build and test OpenOffice more
efficiently, using -current!
Since I am in a learning mode, I decided to run the builds on two different
machines simultaneously (AMD 4600 on ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard and
Pentium Core Duo 6400 on ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium, both with 4GB RAM and a few
SATA 320GB drives with 16MB cache) just to gather some statistics.
Just in case it helps someone who is wondering how long a typical kernel build
may take, here are the stats from my two machines. I was looking at vmstat
-i, iostat -w2, and top through an SSH session, while the builds were going
on. I have softdep enabled on /usr. I don't know whether the following has
any impact on building X but the AMD 4600 box has two working GeForce 7100GS
video cards and the Core Duo box has one unsupported GeForce 7300GT card:
Task AMD 4600
Core Duo 6400
Building Kernel 4 minutes, 38 seconds 4 minutes, 25
seconds
Building Userland 45 minutes, 6 seconds 43 minutes, 30
seconds
Building X 35 minutes, 2 seconds 35
minutes, 12 seconds
Building MP Kernel 5 minutes, 1 second 4 minutes, 50
seconds
Time for building X includes the download times for building Tk and Tcl from
ports. While building MP Kernel, I was looking at disk performance using
iostat -w2 throughout the build process.
Finally, the dmesg from these two systems is attached in case that is useful.
Thanks again for all your help,
Vijay
