Below are results for two PC with Intel P4 3200 ("Prescott") and Athlon64 3200+ ("Winchester"). Both with 1GB, WinXP SP2, Cygwin 1.5.22, Virus Scanner + Personal FW off: Command: "time ./configure && time make" (on smartmontools source) CPU Intel AMD ./configure: real 1m09.0 5m25.8 user 0m53.5 0m54.2 sys 0m10.5 1m48.2 make: real 0m15.3 0m25.6 user 0m10.9 0m09.3 sys 0m02.5 0m07.4 Disabling HT on Intel makes no difference. Looks like fork is *much* more expensive on AMD. Any idea why?
