:Athough it does not actively hunt down bugs, a NFS mounted,

This is what I usually do:
* machine artificially limited to 32M of ram.
* NFSv3 mounted /usr/src
* NFS mounted /usr/obj or VN(swap-backed,softupdates-enabled) mounted
/usr/obj or ccd'd /usr/obj depending on what I am testing
* lots of swap space (either NFS-based or a real disk, depending)
* make -j 12 buildworld
