Hello!

I noticed, that the time between I type `make' in a port's directory and
the first line of make's  progress-report was growing. But after today's
cvsup  of the  ports tree,  it  takes it  25-40 seconds  to start  doing
something  noticeable. On  a PII-333Mhz,  mind you,  otherwise idle.  No
paging  (128Mb RAM),  no rc5des.  The port  in qustion  is tcl81  (needs
updating  to  8.1.1, BTW).  Other  ports  start building  (or  fetching)
faster, but the delay is still quite noticable...

Top shows 4 (!) make processes running in parallel with 0 idle time. Why
is this such a monster now?

Thanks!

	-mi
