Peter, Perhaps I have not been taking into account the speed increases in cpus. But our current Solaris box used to run at about the same speed as the old 1GHz P3 in rlspc1, the build for the software used to take about the same amount of time including HTX linkup phase. All, That reminds me, does the current build do the HTX linkup phase? I should imagine that the binary distributions will have to do it?

For reference, the Solaris box I use for building at Durham takes a day and a half beginning to end, but it is quite old. Cheers, Peter.
