    I think the terminal print speed might be slowing you down. Disabling gcc/clang output could be quicker

      He is probably using the terminal output for debugging/logging purposes.

      Also with that much memory, maybe compiling it on a tmpfs would be still be faster

      That shouldn't slow that much... I'd guess the terminal takes one thread. And it could also be GPU accelerated.
      Not sure what happens if terminal buffer fills up too much...

    Compiling the Slackware kernel on a 586 was an adventure, set it up and kick off the compile then go to bed...... hopefully it was done by breakfast, depending on the number of kernel modules you needed it could be lunchtime.

    Awesome! I've just bought a somewhat similar (same CPUs) second-hand setup.
    Are you a regular Gentoo user? Do you post on the Gentoo forums too?

      Appreciate the positive comment friend! Yes, I use Gentoo on my main laptop and of course my workstation as shown in the video. I love Gentoo as it is extremely fast and well optimized on the hardware that I run it on (I compile all my packages with correct CFLAGS). I also use Gentoo professionally as a virtualization host for old operating systems such as Windows NT where I work (we have a lot of legacy SCADA software that runs on Windows NT).
      I am not a regular user but I have posted a couple times in the Gentoo forums to help someone who run to a similar issue as me in the past.

    What means that, what do you do?

    Did you compile for the 6.6.69 kernel? XD

    This is not that fast considering the core count...

      To be fair these aren't particularly fast cores, even 36 of them

    would probably be a tad bit faster compiling in ram.
