That 800+ installed ports are for a regular desktop system, CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) 8450 Triple-Core Processor (2109.74-MHz 686-class CPU) Cores per package: 3 just things like xul/firefox, or webkit alone take an hour to build. Think of "2 to 3 days" to recompile everything from scratch. And that's only for a Gnome desktop setup, throw in another KDE environment to the mix and their family of applications and you can round that to a week (maybe slightly less if you leave the machine running completely dedicated). While your blade would cut that time down considerably, it still wouldn't be in minutes anymore :) m.
