Good.  Based on the information you gave, I was expecting a hardware
problem.

buildworld is supposed to work with -j, but I've never used a value that
large.  Unless you have 8 or more CPU cores available, I would expect
builds to be faster if you reduced that value.

I don't think chflags should be needed any more.  The cleandir isn't
supposed to be necessary either; I only do that when I have a problem. 

Glad to hear you're making progress.
