Subject:   Building Kyua inside qemu mips VM

Adrian,

I am continuing on the work started in the Hackathon which
you organized in January.  I have this Jenkins job which
builds a UFS image built for mips using the MALTA kernel config:

https://jenkins.freebsd.org/job/FreeBSD_HEAD_mips32_be/

I am using this invocation of QEMU to boot the image with 256MB RAM:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/MipsEmulation#Configuring_QEMU

I am now trying to build /usr/ports/devel/kyua
inside the VM, so that I can do "cd /usr/tests ; kyua test" to run
all the tests.

However, building kyua and all its dependencies (atf, sqlite, lua, lutok)
is taking a really long time inside this VM, on the order of many hours.

Is there something I can do to boost performance so I can at least build
kyua faster in this VM?
