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)).
That's pretty normal. Most ide disks hit 35-40, while high end scsi tend towards 50-60.
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 useWell, I don't really know how fast it used to be. However, it is the
to be? ` hdparm -t /dev/$drive`
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.
