Some further profiling, this time on a MIPS1 box.

On a 5k/133 system installed with 1.5 ISO I dumped the ftp.netbsd.org
based -current tar_files src circa Saturday Jan 27th with the mklocale
fix applied.  I built & installed that.

From the -current system I compiled a profiling kernel and after booting
with that, did a build of the GENERIC kernel, with profiling enabled.

Here are the results (no idle time really - I started the build immediately
via a networked ssh connection and collected this output upon completion):
