    compiling lenghty project: P IV 3GHz, 1GB RAM: 13min AMD XP2800+ (2GHz), 1GB RAM: 12 min Opteron 150 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM: 7min woot! (I'd like to see the times on an AMD64 system, though..) Could be reduced further by maybe 30% by shoving the temp files onto a RAM disk...

    A build-all takes about 20 minutes on my software using the intel compiler. Even though I have a few extra compiler flag options set, I doubt it will help you in a comparison, you aren't using my code. :) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                  So he needs three threads for CP, and one for the build? :suss:

                          Well - I've compiled the same solution (18 projects) on my work desktop (3GHz P4, 1GB RAM, 7200RPM drive) and my laptop (AMD 64 3400+ (2.2GHz clock?), 1GB RAM, 7200RPM drive). My laptop consistently takes 2/3 of the time the desktop takes. So, for one project that takes 2 minutes to compile on my desktop, it takes 1min 20s to compile on my laptop. That performance difference is repeated over all the projects.... AMD64 rules - but I wouldn't mind seeing if an Opteron rules more :-)

                              Also has custom resolutions, which gets what you want just right.
