Based on all recommendations on this thread (thanks, guys!), I've
rebuilt my i3 mule with exactly one 16G partition, as it has only
'spinning rust' <haha> for a disk. My loader.conf has
kern.maxswzone=4200000 and ccache is fully active and working for both
root on tcsh and users on sh.

I have yet to try synth again. I'm doing buildworld/buildkernel for
12-STABLE, but evidence so far is good. 'top -t' is actually happy,
showing 16G (grog?), so I'll try firing up synth after another hour or
so on the latest fetch of the ports tree.

Happy coder, me! :D
