It's not any farther from midwestern USA.  I get 160ms pings from
both ftp.freebsd.org and snapshots.jp.freebsd.org, and similar
download rates (~105KB/s).  But it would be nice to see on mirrors.

Just because it's rebuilt every day doesn't mean it's not a p3
build.  It's possible to build things more than once.
