I think that's probably it.  I have been doing native builds to my 
Beaglebone Black (-CURRENT) and Raspberry Pi (10-STABLE) and it takes a 
little over a day to buildworld+buildkernel on the BBB and ~30+ hours 
to do the same on the Raspberry Pi.  However, I have /usr/obj and 
/usr/src on an external USB hard drive, which is what I suspect is 
speeding things up compared to writing to SD card.

Cheers,

Paul.
