FWIW - I have just completely *recompiled* my userland after the 6->7 
upgrade - i.e:

# portupgrade --batch -fa

on a PIII 1.26Ghz system in just under 2 days (i.e over the weekend) for 
836 packages - desktop system with Gnome etc. So it's not actually too 
bad. Using the packages option on faster hardware should be pretty painless.

Cheers

Mark
