On my 386 20MiHz (without math coprocessor) 4MiB RAM, building
djlsr203 took ~8 hours. But it's very dependend on the amount of RAM
as with this little RAM you'll be swapping a lot. If you do have 4MiB
or less I strongly recommend setting a tiny SMARTDRV cache (256kiB or
so) or none. If you let SMARTDRV decide to its default (perhaps it was
2MiB, I don't remember) you'll be waiting a lot longer.


Right,
