I aluded to the speed with which my new macbook can compile softwarez. With the old (1st gen) Macbook Pro I have it takes ~3 hours to compile qt-copy. With this one, ~1 hour. Awesomeness. Here're some hard times for kde module build.

Machine: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook

Time taken to compile:
	kdelibs - real    14m28.700s
	kdepimlibs - real  3m
	kdebase - real    9m18.283s

Touch and no go

I bought a new macbook this weekend because: a) I wanted one, b) I didn't want to wait for Apple's notebook reload and, c) I've become increasingly frustrated by the long compilation times with my (2 year) old Macbook Pro. The good news is its faster, the bad: I don't like it.
