Re: 3.0 Very Slow?

The sandbox itself uses the binaries for the target OS (e.g. 2.1 for
the 2.1 build and 3.0 for the 3.0 build).  As for things like disk
performance, etc, I did not have any measurements going on for this
last build.  However, it did finally finish, after 231300 seconds.

I currently have a new build which I started immediately after a
reboot.  This one has an updated pkgsrc tree, a minor fix which I hope
will fix the rdist 6 package (the version from magnicomp.com) I have
for 3.0, an updated mk.conf, and a few other minor tweeks.  Given I
did a reboot, if folks want to shoot me a few measurements they would
like for me to gather, and then try the same thing with a 2.1 build,
it will take a few days, but I can possibly give it a try.
