[Dune] Speeding up

[Eike Mueller]

Dear dune list,

I'm installing dune on a new cluster, as the nodes only see my home  
directory but not the scratch space on the login/compile node I was  
going to install everything into the home directory to make the  
compiled libraries available on all nodes. The include files will be  
installed in my home directory as well. Does this have any impact on  
the compilation speed, i.e. is it better (and possible at all) to  
install the include files on the local scratch disk which has much  
faster disk access? Are there any other tricks for reducing the Dune  
compilation time (in addition to splitting up the project and using  
Makefiles)? Even the simple examples in the howtos take quite a while  
to compile on my laptop...

Thanks a lot,

Eike
