Sorry, that was a fingerslip. I meant to say Keith.
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 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
