    It's a bit of software (Subversion) built using "make -j4". It
    consists of a little over 200 C files compiled to object code, then
    linked to about a dozen shared libraries, and finally linked to create
    over a dozen executables. It uses libtool, so each compile/link
    involves running a bit of shell code before runing gcc. It lends
    itself to parallel builds, on 2.4 there is little difference in the
    build time using -j2, -j4, -j8. The source code is about 16MB and the
    object/library/executable about 28MB.

    Your patch doesn't apply to plain 2.6.2. I got 2.6.2-mm1 and it looks
    like that already includes your patch, correct? This is what I got
    for 2.6.2-mm1

    247.02user 118.33system 3:51.24elapsed 157%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (176major+3771994minor)pagefaults 0swaps

    so it's not really an improvement on plain 2.6.2.
