Bill,
I did limit the build to C/C++ and the testsuite only. In case you are
interested, I did the build on my HP xw8000, which has dual Xeon 3GHz CPUs,
3.4 GB RAM, and 10K rpm hard disks. However, I did not use the SMP "make -j
2 bootstrap" option and I limited the RAM available to cygwin to 1GB (The
upper limit for cygwin is 1.5GB). Nonetheless, during the build both CPUs
were pretty busy at 60%-80% and RAM usage hovered around 800MB. Next time
I'll up the memory limit to the max and also monitor virtual memory size and
page faults. Since both CPUs were pretty busy I doubt that the -j switch
would change much.
Lee.

Lee, Building took only two hours 45 minutes? I'm jealous. :) At about 2:00
AM, I told my Sunblade 100 workstation Tamino to build gcc-4.2.0.
Instantly, he began to clink, to clank, and to clunk, and stopped "drumming"
at about 9:45 PM that night. Some guys get all the luck. ;)
