I've seen recommendations of using softupdates and noatime to speed up
make world.
The noatime is an option of mount(8). How do you turn on softupdates? Is
this the
same as async? How bad can you hose yourself?
If I have a separate slice for each of / and /var and /usr, I can do
these options
just on the non-root slices and get some speedup and not risk root,
correct?

I'm running 3.0-RELEASE.
