Well, I would lay money that my crappy IDE drives are crappier
than yours. :) Now that my project is "official" as opposed to
"experimental" I'm working on getting some better ones.

Yeah, the new box I'm evaluating has SCA LVD SCSI, and it goes a
lot faster. I'm compiling -Stable and so far -j 6, 8 and 12 have all
crashed, while the same exact sources compiled without -j just fine. (More
to come with that on freebsd-stable when then -j 2 test is done). I didn't
pay too much attention at the time, but IIRC the no -j make world
completed in just under 50 minutes. I didn't pay too much attention 'cuz I
thought -j would work and be much faster.
Thanks,
Doug
