Two machines freshly cvsupped with 5-Stable to the same level.

Generic Computer
Athlon XP Barton 3000, 512M, 80G 7200 RPM drive

make buildworld        1928 seconds  32.13 minutes
make buildkernel        449 seconds   7.48 minutes
make installworld        16 seconds


Thinkpad T42
Pentium M 1.7GHz, 512M, 40G 7200 RPM drive, AC power

make buildworld        1838 seconds  30.63 minutes
make buildkernel        421 seconds   7.02 minutes
make installworld        17 seconds


So the little notebook is noticeably faster than the power tower.  But 
to make up for the difference, the tower has a serial port!  And 
four--FOUR!--loud fans!
