*Great*. This cut down kernel compile time from
real 27m59.368s
user 11m28.667s
sys 3m14.317s
to
real 16m7.248s
user 11m32.699s
sys 2m56.773s
Before my machine used only 512k for the fs cache. Now it's 2.5m. That
really makes a difference. BTW, does anybody know, why my machine doesn't
seem to use all its memory under NetBSD?
When I had 32m in my shark, I got the following on boot:
messages.3.gz:Aug 6 17:11:56 lethe /netbsd: real mem = 33554432
messages.3.gz:Aug 6 17:11:56 lethe /netbsd: avail mem = 28536832
But now, with 48m I get:
messages.0.gz:Aug 30 11:23:10 lethe /netbsd: real mem = 50331648
messages.0.gz:Aug 30 11:23:10 lethe /netbsd: avail mem = 40673280
In ofw the load address seems to be set to something like about 40m. Could
that be the reason?
Thank's - Matthias
