Don't use c++ apps. Buy a lot more RAM. Switch to SCSI or FC hard drives. Turn off as many USE flags as you can get away with. Mount /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs. Avoid silly CFLAGS. Don't compile whilst mplayer is running. Turn off CPU frequency scaling. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
