78 minutes

is the optimum time that a Chinstrap build can go on for 2005.0. That means that -no- packages need to be rebuilt, and everything is just unpacked and installed.

This is the case for 493 packages (currently). This number goes up when I have to update the snapshot (rsync + tarball + ....) or when there is any software updated ( download of source, unpack, compile , compress , install )

However, it isn't bad in that it doesn't require me to do much but check the status and review the changes files afterwards. And of course, fix breakages.

However, a machine with more RAM and better IO would be -very- welcome.
