(My typescript from yesterday's portupgrade run (which included a rebuild of XFree86-4) is 7431126 bytes long. Given that it's all text, I'm confident taht it would compress very well, if that were an issue. I don't bother, since I'll be over-writing it when I run portupgrade again today, just after building & booting today's -STABLE.)
