Would increasing the RAM really make that big a difference in terms of kernel compilation time? It feels to me that 16GB should be plenty for any sort of caching that will speed things up.
- geophertz 4y agoThe only way to know would have been to compare the models :)
- rock_artist 4y agoI don't know about Linux compilation but... We build software written in cpp on macOS/Windows (clang/msvc). As there are compilation units, translation of addresses, linking, etc. Memory AND storage takes important part. While CPU might be "idle" in some parts. For big projects especially, memory and storage speed would be important for proper benchmarking.
- proxyon 4y agoYeah if you think about it in lower levels. Many optimizations use memoization to save clock speed. Therefore, you almost always need more memory to speed things up.
