I guess your times are "user" CPU times? Mine are, at least. > Linux i386 2.4.19 (Debian Woody, Athlon 1.4 GHz, 512 MB) > Compilation time: 2m3.280s > Same with gcc 2.95.4: 1m52.649s (anyone under one minute? :-)
gcc 2.95.4 from Debian sid, Athlon XP1800+ (1.53), 256MB: 1m34s. Is it the PC2700 CL2 memory that makes the difference? > Linux i386 2.2.20 (Debian Potato, AMD 66 MHz, 16 MB) > Compilation time: 289m28.118s (anyone slower?) I'll let you know when it's finished... Other benchmarks: gcc 2.95.2 from Debian potato, 2x Alpha ev67 667, 1GB: 2m21s.
