gentoo.LinuxHowtos.orgThis site offers a new Feature called compile time estimator.
You can use it in one of two ways:
first, you can use the genlop tool on the command line
or second, you can fill out the following form.
Just select your cpu and copy&paste your emerge -p output into the text field.
You will get an estimate compile time.
Please remember: this is an estimate, not an exact prediction.
If your real time differs a lot or your cpu is missing, please send your cpu info by sending an output of "genlop -ntl" and the contents of your /proc/cpuinfo to feature at linuxhowtos org and your cpu will be included.
A site note, the drop down box above is sorted by compile time speed,
meaning the AMD Phenom II 965 is the fastest compiler and the slowest is the P2 300MHz (proudly owned by me and still in use!). Try to beat one of those ;)
Wanted CPU information
If you have a CPU not listed above please send in a genlop report as mentioned above.
