Glad to hear you're interested in hacking on FreeBSD.

Someone already collected a list of low hanging fruits in FreeBSD that 
could be improved:

How low are we talking about. The FreeBSD build system can help speed up 
incremental builds enormously with the make meta mode (see man 
src-env.conf). Even my old dual core Thinkpad X220 can build FreeBSD 
(world and kernel) in <10 minutes with meta mode enabled unless a lot 
has changed.
