Ditto here (except I use an old v.everything USR at 28.8K).   Doesn't
really take that much time ordinarily.

Also,  I use CVSup to keep a local repo up to date since it's handy
sometimes to be able to retrograde /usr/src if there is an intermittent
glitch in buildworld.  I like having the logs locally too.

I don't think you can do that with CTM deltas.
