Hi,

not sure what you mean by "hot cache" - I always use devel/ccache-static
as have tended to build from source throughout my time of using freebsd.
It provides tremendous speedups and generally i'll disable it only if a
problem arises and am debugging it, or crossing a version boundary like
from stable to current. What I'm saying is I don't know when ccache was
last used for building anything.

1. rpi4 here is clocked to 2.0GHz
2. ccache is in use and /var/cache/ccache has *not* been previously cleared
(i'll clear it for next test)

3. make cleanworld cleandir clean has been run on /usr/src
4. sources are at 246839

5. this rpi4 has the following properties for its disk:
[i] root-on-zfs
[ii] boot-to-usb3
[iii] 4k sectorsize forced
[iv] encrypted swapspace
[v] entire filesystem encryption

/etc/src.conf is
