freebsd-update/sparc64 and buildworld statistics

>I'd still like to see what a quad Ultra 80 can do, though. :)  Who has
access to one of these?

I have one of these under my foot right now. 4x450 4GB memory, 2xScsi
drives. I went ahead a did a fresh install to get rid of all the weird
things I customized, added back only noatime and async. I also rebuilt the
world using the CFLAGS I listed in the last e-mail I sent out, updated, then
cleaned out the src tree, put the CFLAGS back to vanilla, etc, so while the
system is very slightly customized, all flags/etc are standard so code is
clean.

Here's the results I got.

Standard "/usr/bin/time -h make -j5 buildworld" was somewhere around 1h45m
(sorry, I didn't write it down the first time), so that's probably the best
you'll get.

However, after enabling ccache, while the first run was roughly the same
(couple minutes longer), the second run (after caching) gave these results:

49m14.74s real          1h28m39.70s user                1h4m8.45s sys

So, that sort of breaks the 1 hour limit? I can't imagine there will enough
source changes between updates to add 10 minutes to the compile time, but I
hear people have had some trouble with ccache and buildworld so whether it
solves the problem or not seems sort of up in the air.

Hope that helps.

I can also give remote access to my box if needed for testing, building
updates, etc. if these machines seem to be in short supply.
