Where were the runtime numbers?  The standard deviation?  Ministat
output?  Details of the machine run on?  Information on the storage.

You finally mentioned this was on FreeBSD 4.x, 5.2, and 6.0 build

And you were timing non-j build's - yet your change was all about
parallel builds, it only affected 'make -j'.
