Getting rid of re(4) seems to have made all the difference in the world!

That would be awesome! NetBSD-5, running with one CPU and 2GB of RAM,
and with source on one NFS server and build directories on another NFS
server took over 25 hours to build release sets as opposed to less than
1/4 of that time when running on the bare metal (with 4 hyperthreaded
CPUs and 4GB RAM).
I was going to try naively booting a NetBSD/xen domU kernel to see what
happened...
