Not trying to show anyone up (really), but you can just imagine how shocked I
was when I first ran a buildworld on my current workstation system in 11
minutes!

FreeBSD 10.1-STABLE #3 r277033: Sun Jan 11 17:07:24 CST 2015
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz (3300.07-MHz K8-class CPU)
real memory  = 34359738368 (32768 MB)
avail memory = 33184337920 (31647 MB)
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 12 CPUs
FreeBSD/SMP: 1 package(s) x 6 core(s) x 2 SMT threads

The latest run was 11:43 (looks like I'm losing a little ground). This is
with -j12.

I can remember building 386bsd back in the early '90s on a 386 system and it taking
just under 24 hours!  :)
