Just set WRKOBJDIRPREFIX to a tmpfs on the Tinderbox host system and the extract takes less than a second. Originally WRKOBJDIRPREFIX also pointed to a nullfs mount. Afterwards I pointed WRKOBJDIRPREFIX to a UFS file system (without nullfs involvement). The entire make extract took 20s. So still faster by at least factor 30 than running it on a nullfs mount (I eventually SIGINTed so I don't know how long it would've run). -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
