Running a full MAKEALL for all architectures and boards, for all (> 40) repositories, every 24 hours, requires more CPU and I/O cycles that we can currently afford.

MAKEALL is indeed consuming. But I wanted to follow up here on something I've talked a little about on IRC now. On my local box I've cut the time it takes for MAKEALL -a powerpc down from 60min to 33min by using BUILD_NBUILDS=6 BUILD_NCPUS=1 (on a 6 processor (grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo)) box. I've seen similar reductions on my just TI parts builds. Not that this solves all of our problems, but it should help.
