Once makemandb has completed a run it shouldn't really use any more time next boot unless your manpages have changed. What size is your /var/db/man.db?

That’s what I thought too. The size doesn’t seem to have changed since May 16, and makemandb has run at least 10 times during that time. The size is close to 19 MB:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 18826240 May 16 17:41 man.db

When its running is your machine paging? - run 'vmstat 5' and se if the 'po' column has consistent non zero numbers.

There are no pageouts (’vmstat’ is showing a row of zeros) before 'Building temporary file cache’ has finished, and then, according to ’top’, it will page out 6+ MB:

0 root 126 0 0K 32M pgdaemon 1:09 0.00% 0.00% [system]

When its finished running you might want to try as root running 'makemandb -v' and see if it completes

Now, that seems to be the place where all the fun is happening:

makemandb -v

Alas, I wouldn’t know what to look for in those files…

X forwarding works fine with the ’standard’ installation, though it would be nice to have color X. Would the ole, trusted color X server from 1.6.2 still run on this system?

It would be nice to get the colo(u)r code merged into the current tree - does anyone have the source to hand?
