'-j 1' will definitely make a difference, but setting the nice value won't (assuming you aren't running any unrelated cycle-munching programs). If that isn't enough, then reduce the maximum processor frequency via cpufreq-utils or via the /proc or /sys interface. Take a gander at: http://idebian.wordpress.com/2008/06/22/cpu-frequency-scaling-in-linux/ Try setting it to 'powersave' while compiling gcc and otherwise set it to ondemand. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
