I don't think the point was ever to be accurate, but to give a rough |
| 9 |
idea. If OpenOffice.org is 1047 bash units, and bash takes 1.0 minutes |
| 10 |
on your machine, then you know *about* how long OpenOffice.org will take |
| 11 |
to compile. I don't think anyone is concerned with exact numbers so |
| 12 |
much as ballpark figures to give them a reasonable estimate of needed |
| 13 |
time. |
