It doesn't have any issues, but I noticed the improvement on CURRENT. I
observed that just after this change, my package builder is much more
likely to retain MFU and not evict useful things from there (the port
tree) after large builds.
However, I run a lot more 10.0-RELEASE than CURRENT and I would like to
see this improvement release-bound.

I would be happy to test this on 10-STABLE if you think that this is
relevant.
