This is no compalin, since make buildworld works with one thread.

But I'd like to report a funny thing I witnessed.

On two boxes equipted with Core2Dou CPUS (E8500,  2 cores/threads,
Q6600, 4 cores/threads) a parallel make buildworld works fine with the
most recent sources of FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT/amd64 (both boxes have 8 GB
RAM, both boxes use a very close/similar setup and configuration).

I moved in my lab towards a brand new Sandy-Bridge-E box with 32GB RAM
and the CPU is a Core i7-3930X with six cores/12 threads. On this box,
even "make buildworld" with -j2 fails to build. It builds fine with a
vanilla "make buildworld".

Also funny is, that even with only one thread, the 3 GHz Core2Duo
methusalem systems "outperform" in compile time the 3,2 GHZ driven Intel
youngster.

Maybe there is an issue in FreeBSD 10 with the TURBO BOOST? I'm a bit
time constraint now, but I'm willing to do some tests with advices from
the experts.

Lets give you some informations I think it could be valuable. Please
request more, if this isn't sufficient.

I realize/I'm aware that both hardware and OS are brandnew! But
hopefully this is something important and could be "fixed" - if my
observation is a real observation ...

Regards,
Oliver
