Congrats!  :-)  16 minutes is really impressive...

Our 2.13GHz C2D 6420 boxes w/ 2GB RAM can do this in about 19 minutes
flat (using ULE scheduler).  Disks are 7200rpm SATA300.  make -j2 used;
and this was RELENG_6.

The reason I like the buildworld "benchmark" is because it's a fairly
real-world test and not something specific to just one piece of how
a machine behaves (e.g. memory benchmark, disk benchmark, CPU benchmark,
etc.).
