I think 90 min. for a kernel config + compile is far long. IDE disks
and somewhat low memory? On my old 486DX2-80, 48 meg, VLB-SCSI I won't
think it takes longer than half an hour and my 486DX2-66, 40 meg, also
VLB-SCSI isn't significantly slower.

(...using -O2 & -pipe as compiler options, disks not asynchronous mounted.)

On my PII-300 at work, config takes about 18 sec, make depend another 30,
and make kernel takes about 2 1/2 min. This is a machine with 128 MB RAM,
AHA2940U, IBM DCAS 4330 (not the fastest), compiling at /usr which is not
asynchronous mounted.

Compiling the kernel on an asynchronous mounted disk will speed it up
significant, especially on slower machines with plenty of RAM.

Martin
