[kwlug disc.] (advanced user only) Request for kernel compile time

[Richard Weait]

I tried both William's compile and Khalid's bzip.  Both machines always
have stuff going on.  

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ stepping 08

make
real    60m2.657s
user    37m25.311s
sys     5m19.111s

bzip
real    2m26.022s
user    1m34.888s
sys     0m31.364s


4-way Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz stepping 04

make
real    44m23.687s
user    40m47.005s
sys     4m11.700s

make -j5
real    18m31.142s
user    67m26.002s
sys     5m18.785s


bzip
real    1m49.529s
user    1m12.586s
sys     0m43.052s

bzip four times.  Each was 
real    3m47.760s
user    2m16.172s
sys     1m30.844s
