[crux-devel] Configure script speedup due to dash for /bin/sh

Hi, I made /bin/sh point to dash instead of bash and measure how this change speeds up a few randomly picked configure scripts. The speedup achieved is: pkg-config: 2% libarchive: 3% llvm: 7% gcc: 24% coreutils: 17% openssh: 9% htop: 13% Method used: cd /some/tmpfs bsdtar xf /the/package.tar.gz time ./configure # switch /bin/sh symlink rm -rf the-extracted-package bsdtar xf /the/package.tar.gz time ./configure Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
