Just to give you an impression on what is possible. After the
3.0 Release date I enabled softupdates on my src
partition. I'm doing a make world -j4 on my dual PII 400 in
less than one hour. I stress test my system at least once a
day with that and had absolutely no problems regarding
softupdates until now.
For now the current is solid as a rock for me.

8:29AM up 7 days, 17:18, 2 users, load averages: 2.07, 2.00, 1.98
The load come from rc5des running :-) and 7 days ago I
switched to the new bootblocks.
