the differences in perf are small between the three versus other bottlenecks, for example does your current build system do the following; - smart copies, e.g. only copy things that need copying - smart testing, e.g. only test things that have changed) - compiling only things that have changed - dependency management - do you have distributed builds or one very large smart build, with a project of this size build time perception is critical, if a developer(s) can build, test, doc, deploy their specific module without having to build the whole thing? - i would look at optimising pvcs as well as looking at things like hi perf hard drives etc... then I would change the question to which of these build technologies is it easier to implement the above? personally I would choose make or Ant as I have worked in these for ever and for this size project (as its near the biggest something can be!) and would have to bring all my tricks to bear (like doing a full trace on build operation and optimising Ant source code specifically for this project!). feel free to email me off list. cheers, Jim Fuller --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
