I've compiled a kernel and listen to a CD while burning another CD.
Of course I'm using a hardware burn proof capable drive : )
Not really trying to tell you you should burn DVD's and compile at the same
time. I just figured it would be interesting to see what happend...
It's a 12X drive and it completed with:
Average write speed 9.2x.
Min drive buffer fill was 53%
Fixating...
Fixating time: 4.811s
cdrecord: fifo had 7118 puts and 7118 gets.
cdrecord: fifo was 1 times empty and 5432 times full, min fill was 0%.
FIFO hit zero once when I started mplayer. However mplayer was not happy not
getting enough CPU/RAM and abended.
My CD writer is a Plexwriter which does not use a lot of CPU when burning.
I've never burned a DVD and have not idea how much resources is needed for a
good burm.
