I still find it ludicrous that it takes a week to build the kernel.  The
world, I could see, but a _kernel_?

I mean, according to my calculations (and considering that, until
recently, the I/O on a VAX blew doors on just about any other machine
out there), a SS2 is 40 MIPS (simple instruction count).

A VAX was 0.75 MIPS (simple instruction count).

A kernel build on an SS2 takes me about a half-hour to 45 minutes.

A kernel build on a VAX should take AT THE MOST 2 days.

...or Have I Missed Something [TM]?
