gcc is slower at compiling things. This is very noticeable when
you're doing a buildworld. The code which gcc 3.2.1 produces
does not seem any slower than the code produced by gcc

Is it necessary for all three of these to permit this, or is
it sufficient to (for example) allow it in the group name?

The default swap size calculation is done on the basis of a multiple
of the physical memory size. Specifically
I'm playing around with installing a number of freebsd releases on
the same PC, and something came up which makes me a little uneasy.
I understand why I am seeing what I'm seeing, I'm just uneasy about

testing it on their own
