I have none that are faster than 900MHz processors, and the
one with the most processors in it is 6x750MHz.

At the moment there are two - one being used by portmgr@
for package builds which is the 6x750MHz machine. The
other I do the monthly snapshots and release builds on,
it's 4x900MHz. This was its performance on the world
built of 7.3-RELEASE:
