Just FYI....

 * How do you think we generate packages for each new release?  ;-)
 * Satoshi actually has a dedicated high-performance
 * package-building machine.  I don't know off-hand exactly what its
 * specs are, or if jseger (I think he's the one who does -current
 * packages) has a second dedicated machine.  I can't even remember
 * how often the packages are regenerated, come to think of it...

My package building machine is one of the 24 P6-200 we have in our
cluster.  (See "http://art.cs.berkeley.edu/" if you want to know what
they are doing in real life.)  Justin and David O' have a P5-133
(ampere.freebsd.org) for building package-current.

I usually build the entire packages tree every couple of weeks and
copy them over to ftp.freebsd.org's packages-stable directory.  (It
takes about 2 days to build the whole thing.)  packages-current is
updated less frequently.  (That depends on Justin and David's
schedule, of course.)
