Re: Benchmarking kernel, userland and Xenocara build processes

Hi,

just for the record, and to inform others who may still be at loss regarding this matter: when compiling stuff (particularly Big Stuff, such as the userland) on an OpenBSD machine with several CPU cores, it's important to pass the '-j <number of CPU cores>' argument to the make command, in order to benefit from the (much) reduced compiling time.

It would probably make sense to add a tip to the Building the system from source FAQ and/or the release man page.

I feel so, so newbie... =P

Thanks to tfrohwein!

-j.
