I have noticed the same when I pause a compilation, especially on big packages |
13 |
with a high number of make jobs. I always took this to mean the CPU thread |
14 |
pipes were full and until they are processed the pause instruction has to wait |
15 |
for its turn. Slower PCs take longer time and since I'm not running an RT |
16 |
kernel for emerge, I never thought of it as a bug. However, if more learned |
17 |
contributors can explain this as a bug, I'll be happy to learn something new. |
