Not according to top, it's 99.8% idle. Is there a better way to measure?
The system _is_ default, but that isn't new. Firefox has built before
and didn't display behavior like this. Buildworld has been taking about
25% longer than usual in the past month or so, but but it hasn't behaved
so badly as this. Buildworld also doesn't invoke bsdtar; I wonder if it's
the culprit.

Allowed to run overnight it came unstuck and is now running at near
full tilt compiling LLVM.
 
Thanks for writing!
