FreeBSD itself is significantly larger - at a guess, I'd say that
4.0-CURRENT is about 50% larger than 2.x. I suspect (though I
haven't done any direct comparisons) that today's egcs is slower
than 2.7.3. Also, following Marcel's work, buildworld is now far
more careful about ensuring that tools it wants to use are built
correctly for the environment they are going to be used in - which
means that far more of the system is built multiple times during
a buildworld.
Overall, a 2:1 slowdown doesn't really surprise me. It would be
nice if it was smaller though.
