hi,
I've got DJGPP on a Novell Netware. The problem is in speed. After
reading djfpp.faq I tried a few things, but I'd like to know if there is
anything more I can do to make it run faster.

I made 4MB RAMDISK and TMPDIR is pointing there. I add  LIBRARY_PATH
pointing RAMDISK and copied there the most frequently used libraries
(libc, libm, libgrx20, libbcc2). I traced djgpp with -v option and it
appeared that cc1.exe is very slow (actually reading cc1.exe from the
network drive - it's 1MB with each compiled file). I tried to copy
cc1.exe to RAMDISK but gcc uses still g:\djgpp\bin\cc1.exe instead of
this from ram drive.

My question is: does anyone of you have some further suggestions? Can I
do anything more to speed up? Unfortuanately there are usually about
10-20 people compiling their programs simultanouesly, so the network is
really slow.
