That isn't correct.  You need to apologize to me because what you
said that I said that FreeBSD compiles are 3X faster.  What I implied is
that our compiles are 3X faster due to the conversion from Net to Free.

You might not see a difference, partially due to the difference
in caching opportunity.  During large builds, thngs like make depend
increase caching opportunity.  Do you get it yet?

I demand an apology for your obvious perversion of what I said
into an absurd statement.  Geesh!!!
