Hi there, I noticed that emerging SeaMonkey takes longer and longer (since rel. 2.4 to current 2.9). While monitoring last builds, I could see ld running long (~30-45' or more) and eating a lot of memory (up to 1.4GiB), to the point that my laptop starts swapping (I have 2.3GiB)... I can stand long linking times as it's mostly IO, but the huge memory footprint worries me a bit. I know it's a big package with lots of deps, though I wonder if there's anything wrong with it or with my set-up. Apparently, no other build causes the same. Here's a genlop extract: Fri Oct 28 16:34:36 2011 >>> www-client/seamonkey-2.3.1 merge time: 1 hour, 8 minutes and 38 seconds. Fri Oct 28 20:26:14 2011 >>> www-client/seamonkey-2.4.1-r1 merge time: 1 hour, 11 minutes and 47 seconds. Wed Jan 11 20:48:31 2012 >>> www-client/seamonkey-2.6.1 merge time: 1 hour, 45 minutes and 33 seconds. Fri Feb 17 21:58:39 2012 >>> www-client/seamonkey-2.7.1 merge time: 1 hour, 38 minutes and 36 seconds. Thu Mar 1 21:17:14 2012 >>> www-client/seamonkey-2.7.1-r1 merge time: 1 hour, 37 minutes and 46 seconds. Thu Mar 22 21:19:23 2012 >>> www-client/seamonkey-2.8 merge time: 1 hour, 55 minutes and 19 seconds. Mon Apr 30 20:18:40 2012 >>> www-client/seamonkey-2.9 merge time: 1 hour, 59 minutes and 41 seconds. Sun May 20 22:47:24 2012 >>> www-client/seamonkey-2.9 merge time: 1 hour, 54 minutes. Note that at the first sign of swap-out I close stuff to free memory, thus the merge times are good approximates of wall times (the OS might be trashing for a couple of minutes though).
