*Great*. This cut down kernel compile time from 

	real	27m59.368s
	user	11m28.667s
	sys	3m14.317s

to
	real	16m7.248s
	user	11m32.699s
	sys	2m56.773s

Before my machine used only 512k for the fs cache. Now it's 2.5m. That
really makes a difference. BTW, does anybody know, why my machine doesn't
seem to use all its memory under NetBSD?

When I had 32m in my shark, I got the following on boot:
	messages.3.gz:Aug  6 17:11:56 lethe /netbsd: real mem  = 33554432
	messages.3.gz:Aug  6 17:11:56 lethe /netbsd: avail mem = 28536832
But now, with 48m I get:
	messages.0.gz:Aug 30 11:23:10 lethe /netbsd: real mem  = 50331648
	messages.0.gz:Aug 30 11:23:10 lethe /netbsd: avail mem = 40673280
In ofw the load address seems to be set to something like about 40m. Could
that be the reason?

Thank's - Matthias
