Or just a little slower than my 4 year old 500MHz 21264 (<$1000 used) alpha. Darn. I was hoping a reasonbly priced sparc64 would be fast enough that getting one would allow me to find LP64 problems quicker due to a faster buildworld cycle. It's really frustrating to get 2+ hours into a buildworld and have it die because of a problem in usr.sbin I guess we'll need to wait for x86-64 for that.
