Since I was referenced in this message (not that I mind) - I'll go ahead and add some extra details about the image that I provided for Jorge to test just in case this technically matters regarding performance: It was a larger 512mb haiku.image rather than the 120mb size that Francois had been testing with. This is simply my default image size - I wasn't trying to accomplish anything with a large readonly BFS image :P The build environment was also configured with --include-gpl-addons which probably added a couple extra drivers to the image. I think I added the 3rd party option also, but I'm not sure that matters yet. It had the following additional "optional" packages installed: Wonderbrush, Pe, Links, Vision which of course add extra size to the image. I did *not* install OSS. Just wanted to make sure this was known in case anyone wishes to compare it to their own experience. - Urias
