    Here is an update with the quad buildworld tests on monster, with the
    latest commit.  Historical data.  Note that I fixed the improvement
    numbers, I was calculating them wrong.  100% improvement means half
    the time.

    Tests on monster (48 core opteron w/64G ram)

:monster buildworld -j 40 timings 4x prepatch:		(baseline)

    And with the latest commit today (on first run after boot even!)

:monster buildworld -j 40 timings 4x COMMIT#2: 		(108% improvement) <<<
      3943.25 real      4630.76 user     21062.91 sys

    And I expect to do better yet.  Current system status:  We have one
    issue with a reproducable seg-fault/bus-fault related to mmap which
    I hope to squash today.
