I cleared the cache between the compiles. This is the command I use: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
That clears all cache from what I read and it also shows up as cleared |
| 17 |
in top too. It's amazing how much cache can build up over time. Right |
| 18 |
now, just about all my ram, 16Gbs worth, is used. I check it with |
| 19 |
gkrellm. It seems no matter how much ram you have, it will use it for |
| 20 |
something. |

Still, no difference. There is also a thread on the forums on this |
| 23 |
too. I think I posted my results on there but it was a while back. I |
| 24 |
think I ran that while in single user mode too. |
