Like I said in a previous entry, I started yesterday to build glassfish on some machines I have at my disposal :
- An Apple Powerbook G4, 1.25 Ghz, 512 Mb RAM with Mac OS 10.4.2
- An Intel based laptop, 1.8 Ghz and 2 Gb RAM with Solaris 10
- An Apple PowerMac G5, 2x 2.7 Ghz, 2.5 Gb RAM with Mac OS 10.4.2
The time difference to fetch the sources and building them is amazing. Without surprise, the PowerMac G5 left all the others behind.
Here is a summary :
| PowerBook G4 | Intel Laptop | PowerMac G5 | |
| checkout | 16 min | 15 min | 14 min |
| bootstrap | 32 secs | 24 secs | 21 secs |
| build | 71 min | 53 min | 31 min |
