[PyKDE] PyKDE trivia

[Jim Bublitz]

I just finished one cycle of test compiling the next KDE release (I
have more testing/bug fixing to go yet), and thought the following
results might be interesting.

For these compiles, the sip files are all on Machine 3 (1, 2, and 4
access the same file set via NFS over a 100BT LAN), all C++ files
are local to each machine. Machines 1, 2, and 3 have identical HDs.


Machine 1: 850MHz PIII, 256MB, X not running
Machine 2: 800MHz PIII, 272MB, X not running
Machine 3: 850MHz PIII, 512MB, X running
Machine 4: Athlon 1900, 1GB DDR, X running
