I've poked around in what I thought were some likely spots and didn't find it. I did find something that claims that the number of swap files is 32 (rather than the 8 documented in mkswap(8)). > Are you certain the issue is memory related? No. That was a guess. I've read that the VM system has been in a state of flux for some time. Of course, there's a new gcc in RH 8.0 that could be having an impact, too. I suppose grabbing an old executable off a backup would allow me to eliminate that from consideration. Seems hard to believe that the current gcc would be generating code 8 times slower than it was a couple releases back. > Have you tested things to see if your disk io is as fast as it use > to be? ` hdparm -t /dev/$drive` Well, I don't really know how fast it used to be. However, it is the same hardware and filesystem that it was before. The data going into my compilation process has not changed at all since June, when I did the 6:50 run. The hdparm test shows a read speed of 34.90 MB/sec.
