    Here are the results of a buildworld test building the -current
    source tree on a SMP stable box and on a SMP current box.  There was
    some interest at BSDCon for a comparison just to see where we were.
    Everything matches up except time and context switches, the context
    switches I presume is because interrupts require context switches
    in -current.

    The time difference is 1800 seconds (stable) verses 2219 seconds (current),
    making stable 1.23 times faster then current at the moment.  I consider
    this a fairly good number for where we are, and to be expected
    considering the lack of optimizations in current.

    (note: source is NFS mounted.  /usr/obj is local disk).
