I'm curious as to how long it takes to compile postgres95 on various
platforms.  Robert Stockmann started me thinking about this because he
reported compile times of ~12 minutes on his 90Mhz Pentium w/32Megs running
Linux.  I was fairly surprised since it takes me ~26 minutes on a Sparc5
w/64 Megs running Solaris.  The fast time I am personally aware of is ~6
minutes on a 3-processor 256Meg DEC Alpha machine by setting GNU make
parallelism to 10.

So, if you have spare time and CPU cycles, send me a note with how long
it takes for you to compile postgres95.  I suggest the following
procedure:  do a 'gmake clean' followed by a 'gmake' in the top level
src/ directory.  Also, please compile with -g.  To avoid measuring
network latencies, please ensure that the source files are on a local
disk.

Example:
	version: 1.0, patchlevel 14
   architecture: Sparc 5
            O/S: Solaris 2.4
    main memory: 64 Mbytes
       compiler: gcc 2.7.0
  compile times:
		real    26:33.0
		user    14:02.2
		sys      7:09.4

P.S.  I'm looking for a development machine for home use for <$5K, and
would welcome recommendations.  I am currently leaning toward a
dual-120Mhz Pentium box.
