Please do the following:
# cd /tmp
# cat > doit.sh
#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
config GENERIC
cd ../../compile/GENERIC
time make depend all
echo "XXXX look here XXXX"
make clean
time make depend all
echo "XXXX look here XXXX"
make clean
time make depend all
echo "XXXX look here XXXX"
cd /
rm -fr /sys/compile/GENERIC
^D
# chmod +x doit.sh
# ./doit.sh >& logfile


The output will be in logfile - go searching through it for the 'XXXX
look here XXXX' pattern and send us the 3 time values (and ONLY the 3
time values! :) you got after each compile finished.  If we can see a
significant drop in wall clock time, then we'll know you have a
genuine problem.

Thanks!
