Total build time is only marginally better than a traditional SATA drive (a few percent), but the machine is noticeably less sluggish doing other things during a build (when there's any disk contention happening, the faster seek time and i/o operations per second are a definite win). But for overall build time, I've found that RAM and CPU cores make much more of a difference than the drive. --Amanda --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
