It's kinda expected. The new VM doesn't do quite too well if used in a pure development environment. It does quite some improvement when used otherwise (have yet to try it on production server. Just tried recompiling gcc-3.0.1 and glibc 2.2.4 using gcc 3.0.1 (2.4.10 kernel, Athlon, Debian Potato). Can't understand why the bootstrap won't finish - the kernel can't handle the paging requests and seg-faults. No problems using 2.4.9, though. The old VM manages the spawning of dynamic data better than new one when a system-stressing process such as compiling is placed as a standard for a resource-intensive job. I'll cross my fingers until 2.4.11 or until Linus comes up with a better VM that scales up just like the old one Alan retains. I'm just impressed that the Andrea's VM implementation deals swap usage better than the old VM. Paolo Falcone UP Manila __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
