No no...  Buy more RAM!  :-)

Then put /usr/src on an MFS, and enable Soft-updates on
/usr/obj (it doesn't matter much if that's IDE or SCSI,
but it should use UDMA if it's IDE).

Then you can do a make buildworld in less than 40 minutes
on an SMP machine.  I had the great pleasure to try that
once.  :)
