After reading this thread I decided to give CK sources a go. Make |
| 11 |
oldconfig offered me one option, whose help message made it pretty clear I |
| 12 |
should set it. Otherwise the config was the same as I'd been using on |
| 13 |
Gentoo sources. |

Compilation took 9 minutes. After rebooting into KDE 4.5.3 I set some |
| 16 |
more emerges going: open office, pywebkitgtk, chromium. Switching to |
| 17 |
another desktop took 8 seconds to finish painting the screen. Not |
| 18 |
propitious. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Once the other jobs had finished and only open office was compiling, |
| 21 |
response was much faster, even when it got to a threaded section and was |
| 22 |
using all four cores. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Looks like a worthwhile experiment to continue. |
