For me, doing that in Windows NT (using NFS or clearcase MVFS network filesystems) makes builds run a factor of 10-50 slower, even though they are fast as ever under Linux or FreeBSD on the same physical box. I chalk it up to poor network code in Microsoft OS. Dave >I'm running Windows 2000 on a PIII 700 with 256mb of PC100 ECC RAM. >It's not the machine, obviously.
