Actually, nowadays I mostly *reduce* the number of inodes rather than
increasing it, since I often have large files and want to reduce fsck
time (but that's a corner case).

Did you forget to do "make clean" after "make install" on several large
ports?

But yes, the ports tree is getting a bit unwieldy. On the other hand,
did you fsck the file system lately?
