Those are pretty decent CPUs - SuperSPARC IIs (SM71s). See
http://mbus.sunhelp.org/modules/index.htm#perf

I have a pair of SM61s (SuperSPARC I, 60Mhz) in my Axil 320 (SS20 clone)
and I'm pretty happy with their performance.

What disk(s) do you have? pkgsrc untarring is a notorious performance
killer unless you have soft updates enabled or your filesystem is mounted
async.
