BTW I'm looking at your kbuild 2.5 performance measurements at http://www.mail-archive.com/kbuild-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg01434.html Looks like 9 seconds to rebuild the kernel after a small change on a quad 700MHz pentium, right? (Or does 'make phase4' not actually build?) What would the time be on a dual pentium? - Dan
