Thanks to whoever suggested to recompile my kernel without all the extra
drivers.

I upgraded from 1.2.8 to 1.3.11 and compiled my own kernel with minimal 
functionality and now I can compile the small C++ library I was working
on in ~7s instead of ~12s with nothing else running except the basic 
processes (update, klogd, 6 agetty's, ...).  The disk sits almost totally
idle during the whole compile now.  I haven't been able to test preformance
in X yet.

Howver, now rc.M complains about the unknown terminal type 'linux' and
ls produces no color output to the console or rxvt's.   But that is 
another story.
