make linux kernel

The VM is a guest to Windows 7 64bit but the filesystem is mounted over the network which is the reason why this build is relatively slow.

note the '-j' switch on the make {target} ;)

I remember the days when it would take 30 minutes to build a kernel !

..... and yes make menuconfig is for wimps

Only problem with it: notice after you ran top, that it said "60 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped"? It means that there are a total of 61 processes. None are stopped or in the EXIT_ZOMBIE state. 60 are set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE or TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, or were preempted by the scheduler (with certain patchsets). If it were truly a quad-core, it would have 4 running. It doesn't matter that you're running a Qcore, VMware can't handle it.
