Staging is no "waste" of disk I/O, it has been implemented for
very good reasons.

If you are compiling ports on a system with slow disks, you may
consider moving STAGEDIR into a RAM disk or TMPFS.

I find the extra I/O to be negligible - most ports spend a magnitude
more time in GNU configure than in the staging phase.
