Or just a little slower than my 4 year old 500MHz 21264 (<$1000 used)
alpha.  Darn.  I was hoping a reasonbly priced sparc64 would be fast
enough that getting one would allow me to find LP64 problems quicker
due to a faster buildworld cycle.  It's really frustrating to get 2+
hours into a buildworld and have it die because of a problem in
usr.sbin

I guess we'll need to wait for x86-64 for that.
