> Is 200 lines per second reasonable for DJGCC 1.11? I tested it on my
My system (486DX2/66, optimized for go32) can build all of gcc in 30
minutes or less (faster than pizza delivery). You can figure out
rates from there. Dhrystones for gcc in djgpp on my machine run
around 50K, about the same as a Sparc IPX or Sparc II, but that
doesn't include disk I/O.
Run "go32" and make sure you have at least 1-2M of *available* memory
(building gcc with -O2 requires around 4.5M of available memory).
Give yourself about 1.5M for TMP (not go32tmp) and give the rest to
smartdrv (or other cache), but at least a few meg (if you've been
counting, you're up to 8M at this point, maybe more) - enough to hold
all the binaries gcc uses (go32, gcc, cpp, cc1, as, ld). That's about
as optimal as it gets, as far as big wins go.
Oh - I'm using a fast SCSI II disk and AHA-2742T EISA controller that
can *sustain* 4.5Mb/s into the system, which helps a lot.
