SubjectRe: kernel compile time comparison (2.0 vs 2.1 with 64MB)

this is not necessarily true for all systems. Although the system in
question was a UP box, it's i think worth to mention that compilation
speeds on SMP improve measurably with 2.1.

also, compilation _can_ be 'kernel-bound' on UP too, just try compiling
Linux on a say 4MB box. (or 8MB)
