I have a 133 too.

I can make world in about the same time as my handbook takes to 
make two kernels :-)

(I guess we should allow Rod to advertise with 
	"Recommended by a lot of FreeBSD core team members" 
:-)

I don't think you gain that much going from a 100 to a 133 pentium,
unless you use -O2.

Another way to speed up is to use "mount -o async" but the penalty for
a crash is high.
