4.3 is lots lighter.  I run the Quasijarus port, which, after some bit
twiddling, runs and installs pretty well.  What specific 4.3 port were
you using back then?  I have been trying to track down any 4.3 MVII
builds that might still exist, to add to the PUPS/TUHS archives, but,
noone seems to have any still.  IFF any of that stuff is still extant,
pass it my way and I will bounce it along to the archives.

As a demo of how light 4.3 is, the compiled kernel is around 150k
and it compiles in well under 30 minutes.... on an MVII 9 mb box,
with esdi drives, no less.....(:+}}...
