Hi folks,
in case anyone's wondering how fast a cheap computer builds wine these
days, I did a little benchmark on the family computers.

The benchmark was:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep wine
$ apt-get source wine
$ cd wine1.6-1.6.2/
$ time debuild -b -uc -us
$ dh clean
$ time debuild -b -uc -us -j4

Results:

Vintage  CPU     Ubuntu   Time -j1   Time -j4  Details (model, barebones price)
2015      i3-4130 15.04b2 23m31s  12m16s
http://kegel.com/new-computer-2015.html  (ts140, $250, no drive)
2014      i5-4460 14.04     21m25s  8m12s
http://kegel.com/new-computer-2014.html  (h530, $426 including 1TB
drive)
2010      i7-920   14.10     35m47s  13m44s
http://kegel.com/new-computer-2010.html  (ASRock x58 Extreme, $800, no
drive)

I'll probably semi-retire the ol' i7 and replace it with another ts140 soon,
partly to save power, and partly to beef up my LAN party capabilities :-)

(My new house has been averaging 22 kwh/day lately; switching from the
i7 to the i3
will save something like 0.5 kwh/day on days when I work at home.   Hope to
add solar panels and go carbon-neutral sometime, but gotta fix the chimneys,
replace furnaces with heat pumps, insulate, and replace the roof first.)
