Using bogofilter's configure script (because it was available): before installing ccache: 3 runs of ./configure averaged 6.07s ... installed ccache ... next run took 6.5 sec (slower than before) next 3 runs averaged 4.96s (18.4% better than before) conclusion: ccache _does_ help ./configure Regards, David -- [email protected] mailing list
