Also do a faster make, with the -j option. Pass in 2x the number of CPU cores you have, so if you have 2 cores do: make -j4
to get a _much_ faster build.
Isn't the usual "wisdom" to run as many jobs as the number of CPUs (like so grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l)? Wouldn't more of jobs simply contend for CPU time as there are more processes than processors? Thanks, -mandeep
