My very old and slow ~amd64 machine took 3 hours and 45-minutes to |
2 |
compile systemd-226 today. I was curious to know why it was taking so |
3 |
long to finish, so I used 'top' to see what was happening. |

Turns out that two instances of 'sh' were each using 15-30% of CPU for |
6 |
a total of 30-60% (the machine has two CPUs). cc1 never even showed up |
7 |
in 'top' although the compiler was obviously compiling code because the |
8 |
build did eventually finish. |

I tried the same on a faster 4-core machine and I could see much the |
11 |
same thing happening during the systemd build. |

Can anyone else reproduce what I'm seeing? Is this 'normal'? |
