2 See KernelCompilationTimes for the 2.6 series benchmark.
3
4 Both sets of times below are compiling a standard linux-2.4.19 kernel. Configured with the defualts for everything.
5
6 (In /usr/src, with the 2.4.19 source downloaded already...)
7
8 tar zxvf linux-2.4.19.tar.gz
9 cd linux-2.4.19
10 make oldconfig
11 /usr/bin/time -p -o /tmp/dep.time make dep
12 /usr/bin/time -p -o /tmp/bzImage.time make -j 2 bzImage modules
13
14 If you have a machine with more than one processor, you can use make -j n .... where n is the number of cpus + 1
15
16 Note: the /usr/bin/time -p -o ... etc is to save the output from time into the specified file, and use the same format as bash's built in 'time'. *sigh*
