Hi,

I am curious to know if there is a way to compile a port such as X11
or KDE faster.

I know in Gentoo, you can mount a part of RAM and compile in that.
This substantially  decreases the compile time. Reference:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Speeding_up_portage_with_tmpfs

Does anyone know how to do this in Freebsd?
