Hi. Just installed a new DL360 with 8 cores at 2.33 Ghz and 8 GB ram and 15K rpm sas-disks. When I installed the beta2 from cd 'make -j 9 buildworld' took approx. 20 min. After a recompile of userland and kernel and switch to ULE it went down to:>>> World build completed on Wed Nov 14 17:44:08 CET 2007-------------------------------------------------------------- 3552.428u 1298.485s 16:15.89 497.0% 6156+1325k 25257+8117io 3368pf+0w Not very scientific and only one run but none the less my fastest buildworld time ever on FreeBSD. :-) -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentlest gamester is the soonest winner.

This was 6.2/amd64 on a dual Opteron 285 (4 cores total), Tyan S2882-D, 2GB RAM, 3ware 9550SXU, 4x Seagate SATA 7k2 SATA RAID 10 (with RAID 5 it takes 20:09 minutes). Uwe

Our 2.13GHz C2D 6420 boxes w/ 2GB RAM can do this in about 19 minutes flat (using ULE scheduler). Disks are 7200rpm SATA300. make -j2 used; and this was RELENG_6. The reason I like the buildworld "benchmark" is because it's a fairly real-world test and not something specific to just one piece of how a machine behaves (e.g. memory benchmark, disk benchmark, CPU benchmark, etc.). -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking parodius.com | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
