interesting sa-compile times

[Michael Scheidell <sc...@secnap.net>]

Using Freebsd.

64bit versions (amd64 code), march=nocona, both  freebsd 6.4 and freebsd 
7.1, xeon processors

32bit versions (i386 code), march=prescott, freebsd 6.4 only. P4 D processor

on 64bit versions, around 2 or 3 mins (et) using 'time' to measure it.
on 32 bit versions, same load, same rules, averages 20 mins, sometimes 
30 mins.

using SA rules, SOUGHT and a few SARES rules (same rules on all systems)

largest gap in display (what part seems to take 15/20 mins)

Wide character in print at /usr/local/bin/sa-compile line 382, <$fh> 
line 2272.

--->>> large gap in time

Cannot create directory 
/var/db/pkg/bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin-CompiledRegexps-body_0-1.0: File exists


without sought rules, the 32bit system runs sa-compile in around 5 mins.
