If it can reduce much build time, it is worth to try, IMO.
Actually, that's a really good idea. CD builds are *very* IO-heavy and involve lots of random-access and small reads and writes. SSD would be a nice fit if we can get something large enough - we need to keep a local mirror and the temporary build trees in a single filesystem. Currently we're using ~900GB of a 2TB filesystem. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. [email protected] Google-bait: http://www.debian.org/CD/free-linux-cd Debian does NOT ship free CDs.
