My machine is a P6DNE (with one proc) 256K, 233 MHz, 80MB Ram (part of it is EDO.) The target disk is a slow 5400 SCSI drive, the build drives (src/obj) are IDE. The OS is FreeBSD-current EXACTLY as in the tree as of the beginning time of the build. The 86% CPU really bugs me. Does anyone know if our make -j X works on the FreeBSD-current build? Also, I haven't re-committed our vfork improvement yet, but I can't see that would make more than a few second difference at most.
