You are not answering my question.  I asked how much time did dnetc use 
in the time where you were doing your test compile.

The next question is then where you get the idea that a scheduler must 
interpret 20 as "only if idle". Linux has scheduling classes with "idle" 
and "best-effort" priority classes, for one.

Yes, there are reports that FreeBSD is not responsive by default - but 
this may make it get overall better throughput at the expense of 
responsiveness, because it might be doing fewer context switches.  So 
just complaining about a longer buildworld without seeing how much dnetc 
did in the same wallclock time period is useless.  Periodic rant's don't 
fix this lack of information.
