Putting the object files and source files on the same disk causes
contention for the disk device, hurting build times. It's best to have
src and obj on different disks. This applies generally for simultaneous
access for other instances, ie databases. Of course this only applies to
SCSI, IDE doesn't support disks doing their own things independently.
