I'm tweaking the patch so that it's disabled by default and is 
enabled via an rc.conf knob.  Although this is very useful for 
frequently updated machines, it's far less useful for machines that 
are only updated at release time.

I think the process is quite slow on a ``show'' machine, but I'm not 
sure how slow (or what ``slow'' really means :).  The slowest OpenBSD 
box I have is a PPro200 :-/
