FYI, I've switched my primary desktop to AMD64.

For RELENG_4, in 32 bit mode, on the K8V + Athlon64 3200+, buildworld
(on disk, no precaching or ramdisks etc) goes at about 12-13 minutes.

The athlon64 FX-51 at home should go faster due to the dual memory channels
for more bandwidth and the higher clock speed.  However, I have not tried it
with RELENG_4.

I only use kernels under 5.x with lots of debugging compiled in, so I dont
have any fair numbers for comparison.  I'll do some more targeted benchmarks
over the next few days.

Cheers,
