I was just wondering if there are special tricks people do that compile A LOT on centos? Do RAM disks help or something else I dont about that minimizes your compile time? I presently have and AMD x2 4800+ with 2GIG ram.
Just curious if I can reduce any more time out of my compiles.
Watch out for background processes that steal resources: Move /etc/cron.daily/ mlocate prelink to /etc/cron.weekly
Remove /etc/cron.daily/makewhatis and let it only run weekly (its already in weekly)
Open /etc/updatedb and tune it for your system: add ntfs-3g or vfat to prunefs
If you have any mock partitions, add that to prunepath
