I'm not that much of a system hacker, so I doubt either will get 
edited.  I don't even have a src.conf on my 6_STABLE system, but 
regardless, it won't be an issue to keep them in sync.

It's gigabit, so it'd be about as good as it can get.  It sounds like 
the thing to do is just do the builds on the fast machine, and then 
mount THAT machine's /usr/src and /usr/obj on the slow machine when it 
comes time to installworld.
