YOu know, I did this once, with everything in RAM, but don't have the message anymore. However, it was before all the buildworld tuning, and the parallelizing of the build process, so it would be extremely out of date. But I think I'm going to try it. I can wedge another 512MB in this DEC box, and fire it up... Maybe tonight.
