    lol, very simply... If it is taking 15 minutes to install it is not compiling any thing or very little.
    I would suggest you use /stand/sysinstall or pkg_add to install KDE if you are worried about
    time. If you want a quick install the pkg_add is the way to go, but it should be noted that this is
    not very pretty since it is not heavily optimized. I personally like optimizing every thing with
    either -O2 or -O3. This takes awhile, but for the most part it has been worth it, from my
    experience.
