No, nothing like that. It's the same whether I'm running it in a
console or in an xterm running as the only app in X. And the make
buildworld for instance is only adding a little bit to the X and xterm
cpu usage. I get the same problem for instance when untarring an
archive of some tens of MB: it takes ages.
but as said before: I will post some logs this evening (GMT+1) or so.

BTW: the make buildworld,buildkernel etc cycle has never been a
problem while X/KDE is running.... It makes a marginal difference in
the world and kernel compile times, unless you're running cpu
intensive things under X of course.

Also - are you perchance logging the progress and/or appending to a file?
