FreeBSD itself is significantly larger - at a guess, I'd say that 4.0-CURRENT is about 50% larger than 2.x. I suspect (though I haven't done any direct comparisons) that today's egcs is slower than 2.7.3. Also, following Marcel's work, buildworld is now far more careful about ensuring that tools it wants to use are built correctly for the environment they are going to be used in - which means that far more of the system is built multiple times during a buildworld. Overall, a 2:1 slowdown doesn't really surprise me. It would be nice if it was smaller though.
