A lot of the more interesting platforms these days are significantly slower.
And I doubt you do a build with a stock /etc/src.conf on such hardware either. The defaults for src.conf should be for the common case, and in the common case profiled library builds are in the noise. I do add WITHOUT_PROFILE to many of my machines in /etc/src.conf, but I still think they should be enabled by default. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
