frankly, in my experience pentium 4s are absolutely horrendous |
| 13 |
processors. They're just very, very slow. Their clock speed is great |
| 14 |
but ... i don't know. My compusa-tech friend assures me that it's the |
| 15 |
'quad-pumped' architecture that makes my p-4 celeron 2.4 perform about |
| 16 |
as well as a pentium III. I have'nt done any benchmarks either, |
| 17 |
though. |

as long as you don't have -pipe in your cflags, i don't think more than |
| 26 |
512 megs is essential for compiling. In fact, i don't think even that is |
| 27 |
essential. -pipe puts all temp files in ram. Without -pipe, the files |
| 28 |
are stored on disk (/var/tmp/, i think, for emerges) and therefore you |
| 29 |
don't need a lot of memory. Of course, linux caches extremely |
| 30 |
aggressively so if the ram's there, it'll be used. |
