Surely more time than I care about.

I'll freely admit one of the reasons I liked FreeBSD was I had the
sources to the whole dang release right there if I wanted them.
However trying magic "funroll-loops" and other delicious sounding
options to gcc never seemed to make my 266MHz pentium any faster.

Maybe funroll-loops aren't delicious though...  Maybe eating
funroll-loops hits the gag reflex and will cause you to
fomit-frame-pointer.
