Odd, I suspect you were doing more than just building a kernel, which
only takes a few minutes to build completely (even on a quota-enabled
machine ;)

It's just a left-over from the post-4.x SMP rewrite that didn't get
addressed until recently. In the grand scheme of things quotas are
relatively infrequently used, so it was a higher priority for the
developers to work on other things first. As I mentioned, fixing this
performance problem with quotas has now been completed in 7.0 and it
will probably make it back into 6.x before 6.3.

Hi Kris please address this ASAP in 6.x, QUOTA is used quite often in
server environments probably more so then you believe. Considering
6.x is pushed as a stable version of FreeBSD and 4.x was killed off
its dissapointing QUOTA was knowingly broken and left unpatched.
