Yes, but every machine who wants to build the port will need more CPU
time also. I was always happy with gzip's standard compression, with
--best you need much more CPU for much less efficiency (compared
compress and gzip for example). But if you really prefer --best, I can
live with that. ;)

You are right. I did not think about sup (don't use it yet). I still
use `mirror' for /usr/ports and let it delete all files.
Hmm, and now? What shall we do?
