Good call! After doing for cpu in `seq 0 3` do; sudo cpufreq-set -g performance -c $cpu; done the a8-3850 runs configure in 37 seconds (instead of 67)!
It would be interesting to know how the i7 fares when using the performance governor.
On the i7, after doing "./configure" once to warm up, ondemand gives 31 seconds, performance gives 23 seconds. So it's not AMD-specific. 'conservative' gives 26 seconds, halfway between the two.
my q9300 isn't affected by this much; either way, it takes 32 to 37 seconds to run configure there.
