I just did a make readme in pkgsrc.devel. Not only did it take about
half an hour, but my SS5 became almost unusably slow during that time, I
mean really slow, the mouse didn't respond for a second or so, keystroke
debouncing stopped working, and things just started to act like X
running on a ZX-81.

This is on a sparc5-110 running 1.3.3, with lots of memory (top showed
no use of swap space while this was going on)

Any ideas, or things I could check?
