speaking of the new compile method, what does that do as far as memory usage
is concerned? i'm using a p166 16MB machine as my NAT/firewall and have had
to add virtual memory space every time i've upgraded using the old method
(i'm at 4.7 current now). am i stuck with having to do this every time even
with the newer current method or should i just increase my memory and be
done with it?

As Kris mentioned cvs tag=. is -current.  see the handbook section on cvsup,
especially the tags.  that should clear it all up for you.

Here's the second reason you should read the handbook more.  You probably
don't want to use the old config method of rebuilding you kernel.  Also read
/usr/src/UPDATING.
