    If you're not upgrading, you can add this line in /etc/make.conf:

    NO_MODULES=true

    This will signifigantly reduce kernel compile time. As an alternative, you
    can use MODULES_OVERRIDE, where you can list the modules you need and then
    only those are built.

    Example:

    MODULES_OVERRIDE= vinum ntfs splash vesa

    ...so on and so forth
