Re: Double the speed of ct-ng with CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ash

Strange. What's your box?
My measurements were on a 2x2GHz 32-bit AMD under Debian etch with 1GB
RAM (so hard disk speed was not an issue - everything was in cache)
using -j3 and with
/bin/sh -> bash (so the login shell and $SHELL were /bin/bash)
CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ash ./ct-ng build

I was seeing 50% system time and 50% user time, and guessed what the
bottleneck was from the accounting logs: a million executions of sh
(though process accounting was off during the speed tests)
