is there likely something wrong with my config? i have an HP OmniBook 300
(4Meg of RAM (20Mhz AMD386SLX); not everyone's idea of a big powerful
development machine, but my DX2/66 runs linux, so here i am. i just did a
compile (of a single C file) and a link (of perhaps 45 .o files), using
djgpp111 (with the 2.5.4 compiler, i believe). i've applied the first
maintenance release, but not the second, since from the contents it didn't
look like it applied to me. (i use C only, no C++.) anyway, my compile and
link took 23 minutes! i have a ram disk configured. i use himem.sys
to manage extended memory. there is no expanded memory manager. the
application that i link comes to almost 1.2 meg. (i have -g turned on.)
should i be surprised at this speed?
(i also use Watcom 9.0 sometimes. it's _way_ faster.)
