why is rebuilding such a slow process? there are less than 300MB of
data on /usr as of fresh minimal install. However the partition is
63GB. But does the partition size matter? I'd imagine only data need
to be rebuild. I've got to 25% after about 10 minutes. The data
transfer rate for these disks supposed to be 300 MB/s according to
dmesg:

da0: 320.000MB/s transfers (160.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit)

I'm surely missing something simple.
