I don't know if the first half of that statement is strictly true. It'd be interesting to profile a build on one of the very large boxes but I think the issue is we only have ~300 objects being built. It's hard to run up a load of 32 when you only have that many things to build. But multiplying that by the number of boards in a arch or some cpu or soc combinations is easier to run up the load, except around the tails. But, profiling, please! - -- Tom -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQkpP3AAoJENk4IS6UOR1WkQgP/0oih/weogNgs7Ql9Iv4Ct06 pNlaYJiDEOlKxhdwG80zXnyWSqIKkLIYN09N5NPyYQ3qgeM+uRYRiReDiwudYY+P pkOBWudj4X8SWUOucbRVWgx89DU4VrxCzY7sqqhDsQ+5ZTz8UjwG4wZaZOdewdLr ktxe90NQGVsl6ozQtJoSoJ57y727e07piGuBISRDwYZPwmpCl8d9dNd6liRf7zdv EXLIbO9aLROD67pkpO9OY392CVAU7cO4p5ir0dTGVZfYdPpadM+/Jsay5KsPhCf0 rM4eAFG1BvqhMBCc2NyPH2P71YU6rEsPdH6DyNh10aDRwUd7eep6/pU0tKbYpUR4 z0nsE1QOVLD5DY43/N0fEMN2G62LMiwnPuEQWT89N9uyDaFP7SS8lLRp/Sj7EhQF NLEMtMKvN8bVIBiVFXW8WOVRJqlc5uVpoeRqfbOctl50x9zGNHhypJlH65qtEeg/ UlroM1tw3p0j6Xk9zrNioGFy5/mpkF1hw2pirUAKF06yomg0FM9oAOwp/tfjyjgU uU2myW+lgWk0VfW/H00fyEBBs3vPnLo1PSL2WUKg43WRiEdY5C0/+E+lSIN7ph/z eeWKelSu6BUWPkuqBnxhUkMFRYtPCNqE5x6BdVv5p8TPxacD842qDP930Vg3YhqQ 1KG0rtSB69QqzAtVYDmO =4XRP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
