I don't think UFS_DIRHASH makes a bit of difference; there are no
*large* directories in the src tree.  What does make a difference is
the dirpref code, which is on by default in recent kernels.  Just
deleting and re-fetching /usr/src does the trick.  Ditto for
/usr/ports (makes cvsup much faster the next time).
