For RELENG_4, in 32 bit mode, on the K8V + Athlon64 3200+, buildworld (on disk, no precaching or ramdisks etc) goes at about 12-13 minutes. The athlon64 FX-51 at home should go faster due to the dual memory channels for more bandwidth and the higher clock speed. However, I have not tried it with RELENG_4. I only use kernels under 5.x with lots of debugging compiled in, so I dont have any fair numbers for comparison. I'll do some more targeted benchmarks over the next few days.
