It's probably faster because the copy operation is skipped when the 
files are identical, but otherwise the results should be identical 
(modulo the updated mtimes).

If so, putting "INSTALL=install -C" in /etc/make.conf accomplished this 
easily. The problem is that there's currently no way to turn off the 
hardcoded -C in some Makefiles.

That's an approach I hadn't considered, but it feels more heavy-weight.
