Also setting make options will make things leaner and meaner too. something like (this is just an example, don't build anything with this set of options and expect it to work): CPUTYPE=i585/mmx MAKEOPTS="-j2" CFLAGS= -march=pentium-mmx -Os -pipe -s -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math COPTFLAGS= -march=pentium-mmx -Os -pipe -s -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math read this paper for a starting point on this stuff: http://silverwraith.com/papers/freebsd-tuning.php Have fun with your new toy :-), I'd love to have one of these but can't justify the cost.
