Wow, this feature should be put in a FAQ somewhere! I just installed a 20MB 
MFS "disk" on /tmp and the build is _much_ faster. I've not been timing it 
but I would say anywhere between 33% and 66%.

Now I'm going to have to figure out how to use SUP to get the -current 
stuff so that I can pretty much build the world on demand. Is there a FAQ 
for that anywhere?
