if you need to log, have logs on another disk than you compile from
send logs to tmpfs
compile on a dedicated partition that never runs out of space, 10 gigUsing distcc and a shared ccache on a switch that has good enough BW... but that is still a bit experimental. (starts to gain a lot of speed at 1Gb/s. One big fast file server for all machines
ext2 is good for most things.
for smaller things, just use a tmpfs, cut down on buffer cache and be happy.
tmpfs->swap is worse than ext2, tmpfs -> no swap is better than ext2..
keep ccache on another drive than you compile on. Recuces seektimes.
is faster than local disks at 10Gb/s.
use rxvt or xtrem without AA fonts (somone else suggested this already)Use nohup and send the nohup.log in a ramdisk or (kamikase mode) in /dev/null...
as they scroll about 5x faster. and with less cpu usage
that way there is no video BW limitations.
Kill all RAMhogs. Evolution, mozilla, gdesklets, superkaramba and so on.
(python applications too ;)
Indeed ...
