If thats the case then using an SSD should improve the relyability of

night (binutils as well for comparison) on a quite fast SSD and
report back.
If you'll be comparing with my times, be advised that I changed my mind
about binutils and will use glibc in order to minimise caching. The
logic being that, since it is bigger, the main memory won't be able to
stretch and encompass all the files. Maybe.
I stopped testing binutils anyway. All results were very close, just as I
was used to it for years. The difference between the slowest and the
fastest run was about 0.6% (3m04.095 vs 3m05.282 real time measured by
time), no matter what I was doing in the background (console only, 4850e
(dual core), only 1 core compiling). I'll run glibc next, but don't expect
much difference. May be we should all test abiword, but I don't usually
build it and probably quite a lot of its prerequisites neither...
