When processes spawn children or threads (and I\'m going to assume that MB does, since it has to load things dynamically) it may encounter race conditions deadlocks, and other system hangups, that would vary from machine to machine, architecture to architecture, and OS distro to OS distro. I haven\'t tried yet, but I may when I get some spare time, compile it on my 333 K6-II linux box, and see what happens. Since my 9800 Pro card can\'t pull it and 512MB Ram is not enough. Bah... I guess I shouldn\'t post here since all the explinations for why it\'s laggy and why nothing can be done about it are fairly obvious. But I felt the need to vent a little steam.
They say patience is a virtue, I don\'t believe in virtues, but I can at least appreciate the fact that MB is a pre-alpha tech demo. Anyway, this isn\'t aimed at anyone, just venting steam and waiting form my portage cache to finish it\'s update cycle.
