Wall clock?  Would that be 30:31.44 from above?

Glad to share, if that's what you mean.

After re-reading your page about scripting the buildworld, I see an
opportunity to test my script.  

I never thought about putting /usr/src and /usr/obj on different HDD's.
I have 2 ATAPI HDD in my box, on different IDE busses, so that should
work out well.
I'll also need to adjust some slice sizes as well.

How much space do you recommend for /var if I'm logging like you do?
It's currently:
Disk1 - 
/ 100M
swap 256M
/var 200M
/usr <remainder> about 1.8G
Disk2 - 
/disk2 <entire disk> 7.8G

So I assume /usr/obj should be on the second HDD?
About how much space should I reserve?

Looks like I should also adjust my script to remove the -j4, eh?
