Your MINIMUM_PPS file contains the entire kernel configuration and 
unless you want to tweak additional options (compiler flags and 
optimization settings for example), there is no need to modify make.conf.

A buildworld takes considerably longer than a kernel build. If a kernel 
takes hours, a buildworld could be a few days... you must be using a 
very slow machine. A kernel build on my Centrino 1.6GHz takes only a few 
minutes.
