I've not had an opportunity to try this, but my understanding is that on a
Sun E10K with something like 256 400MHz processors the Linux kernel built in
around 20 seconds. I've had it build in about 3 minutes on a system with 16x
80MHz processors, but that was in the days of kernel 2.2 and there was
probably less than half today's number of files involved.
Well... I put that into question. I don't have a 256 core system, but I
have a quad Opteron 6376 system, 64 cores @ 2.4 GHz is quite a bit of
compute power. Compiling kernel 3.3.2:
[root@node016 linux-3.3.2]# time make -j 64
...
real 1m54.823s
user 77m14.178s
sys 11m32.109s
To minutes to build a kernel is still fast though :)
