[gentoo-user] Howto speed up compilations

[John J. Foster]

Good afternoon all,

A few weeks ago I read in one of the newgroups a way to greatly decrease
compilation times. The author noted that this was particularly noticable
when working with something like OO. The general jist of it was to
create temporary file system in memory and mount your portage tmpdir
there. For the life of me, I can't find that thread anymore. Does anyone
do something similar to this? Are there noticable gains to be had. I
have an Athlon 2800XP and 1 GB ram.

Thanks,
John
