just for fun I timed a full "make release" on my sun3 to see if it's any
faster now with UBC.  folks have said that it takes about 10 days for a
1.5 build tree.  this was a -current tree from about a month ago, which is
somewhat larger than a 1.5 tree.  the results:

634674.781u 100494.197s 210:00:50.42 97.2%      0+0k 57919+904021io 52447pf+0w

8 days, 18 hours!  a whole day faster!  hee hee hee!

(of course, it might be that my disk is faster than that of whoever said
it took 10 days for 1.5, but I'm going to be happy about it anyway.)
