ok this would mean then, that processors are soo/too quick nowadays
in comparison to former times ? Or what does it tell us ?

Although it really looks strange too me that the machine is completely
busy but not showing anything.

Even if I do a time make -j 8 buildworld I see only in rare cases
display of up to 8 cc1 processes but mostly no display.
as and ccp processes I see never.

Its really strange and I'm not completely convinced that everything
is right. If I remember right it was on exactly the same machine
P3 1 GHz where this behaviour changed. I think it was between
FreeBSD 4 and 5.

This machine here (amd64) 3000+ I only have since a few months.
