Just FYI, if you feel it takes ages to run the spectest, you are right :) I just ran the spectest on my quad core system:
time make spectest real 33m48.438s user 29m39.743s sys 2m8.468s Running it in parallel is about 3 times faster: time TEST_JOBS=6 make spectest real 10m56.783s user 38m0.315s sys 3m5.660s No attempt was made to eliminate the impact of using Firefox at the same time :) regards Gabor
