View Poll Results: What CPU are you using to build LFS?
My CPU is a Intel Celeron N2840 with 4GB of RAM. My SBU (the time used to compile and install binutils) is
real 6m17.613s
user 4m40.960s
sys 0m33.888s
What's yours? I'm curious to know the SBU of a Intel i3-7100u or other i3 systems with low power consumption in mind. I'm thinking to buy a Intel NUC and to SSH into it to build LFS
If someone's interested I tried to perform a parallel make (make -j2) and the time reduced slightly:
real 3m33,793s
user 4m55,320s
sys 0m33,180s
I also tried for the sake of trying to build binutils inside QEMU without KVM or any hardware virtualization technology enabled and 1 SBU is to 208m 20s
