Performance is not just CPU, but also disk and startup time. AS influences startup time and CPU (and maybe also Disk when not piped). With a first of its kind benchmark, I'm a bit hesitant to assume it is similar enough for a binwriter platform. > At least make -j doesn't do any assembling in parallel > with the rest when you use an external assembler. Yes, but the amount of CPU of a single compiler run increases, possibly changing the CPU/Disk balance. So one artificially increases CPU need (AS), and then "shows" that -j remedies that somewhat. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
