You must take long coffee breaks :). Here are times for 6-r and 6-stable

RELENG_6-release
2803.276u 556.721s 1:01:03.52 91.7%     3728+2613k 17698+2443io 
1315pf+0w
2872.010u 543.192s 1:08:04.53 83.6%     3726+2594k 27248+3651io 
1983pf+0w

You can see that the buildworld required an hour plus on a 2800+. If 
there are ways to make it compile faster, I would really like to know 
how. All that is turned on is "NO_PROFILE=true".
