:Do you have any plans at this point to add an SSD to pkgbox64?  Not
:surprisingly, I'd like to see what effect this has on bulk builds.

    I think bulk builds are more cpu and filesystem-write-bandwidth-limited
    (due to all the rm -rf / pkg_install's it does), so I don't think
    swapcache will help a whole lot.  It's possible though.

    I would have to reconfigure pkgbox64.  It has two hard drives in it
    (/build is separate).  I'd have to consolidate to one HD to free up
    one of the internal SATA connectors for the SSD.

    I think for now lets pass.  I have too much on my plate trying to
    consolidate pkgbox and crater.
