I am using two AMD64 Gentoo based PCs, a server with dual 1.8G Opterons and a client/workstation with a 2.0G S754 A64. The server has GBe, and so does the client, but I've recently discovered that the r8169 driver gives me NFS timeouts on high traffic (large NFS transfers), so I've dropped back to using a Intel PCI 100MB card (e100).
My question is, given the above relatively fast hardware, is it worth it to enable lzo compression? I believe the A64 chips will compress very quickly. I am just looking to minimize the compilation slowdown caused by going from a GB connection for distcc to 100MB. My current config, with MAKEOPTS=-j6 in /etc/make.conf: # distcc-config --get-hosts zippy/4 localhost/2 Proposed config, if it is likely to be faster: zippy/4,lzo localhost/2 -- Brian Hall Linux Consultant http://pcisys.net/~brihall __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
