It's definitely the file/directory I/O that's creating the overhead -- I've taken the approach of trying to optimize the makefiles themselves, minimizing the number of file I/O operations make will have to do. I got a modest performance increase by turning off GNUMake's magical "auto remake the makefiles if necessary" behavior... c At 02:38 PM 3/9/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Beyond debug it, I have none.
