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
