Well, I'm not cheating. ;-)  Machine is KryoTech K6-3/550MHz on
Asus P5A, 128M PC-100 SDRAM, Maxtor 7200rpm 20GB drive, softupdates on.

I guess 550MHz 256KB L2 cache is working very well.

Of course, I don't do 'make -jN' just make buildworld/world.

I wonder if how KryoTech K7/900MHz(300MHz L2 cache) K7/800MHz
(400MHz L2 cache) does?
