Results:

 Old buildkernel time:

real    477m30.067s
user    400m42.592s
sys     24m45.618s

 New buildkernel time:

real    151m42.832s
user    125m20.230s
sys     13m10.643s

For folks attempting this, note that my 4-port ethernet card is now
detected /after/ the onboard interface. Thus, I have hme0 & hme[1-4]
instead of hme[0-3] & hme4. Rather than reconfigure, it was easier to
just change cables around :-)
