Well, I guess the compilation would take longer on a P75, OTOH a ppro200 isn't
everything that determines the speed of compilation. My system (2xPPro200 w/
128MB w/ X11, 3 RC5-clients, X11, Adabas D, Roxen Challenger, top and all
kinds of other "standard gadgets" running) compiles Mico (without using make
-j2  over both CPUs) in 17mins flat. I guess, this just goes off to show, how
important RAM is... Judging from the "top" running during compilation, the
make job occupied its CPU, while all my other "gadgets" were on the other
one.

Still, in this case you can half the time required for this by getting some
more RAM, I think 32MB are the same to g++ as 4 MB for are linux -- too
little... ;)
