I would like some clarification on this. There seem to be about 150 megabytes in my /usr/obj. I thought this was created as an intermediate step in the make world process. Would leaving it there shorten the time on a subsequent make world, or does everything in any case get remade? If so, the only purpose of keeping these around is as a "spaceholder" for a future made world.
