I have an old 486-33/16MB acting as an internet gateway/firewall. When I make world (my other 2 are also running fBSD, I usually make buildworld on the fastest machine and export the generated /usr/obj using nfs to the other hosts. On the other hosts I can type make installworld, which then does the job way faster, since it doesn't have to compile anymore. :) Took only half an hour on the 486 btw.
