    Hey Vince,

    LTNS. :)

    There's a number of things that affect the buildworld times. On a P4,
    you're looking at:
    - Kernel debug options
    - Hyperthreading
    - Lock contention from other processes.

    2.5 hours seems a little high and would seem to indicate that you're
    building world under a kernel that has all the debugging options enabled.
    Could you make your kernel config available?

    Regards,
    Andy
