These times seem pretty high. In the 3.x days, I had a dual P2/450 w/1GB of
RAM that I stuck the src/build tree in MFS, and a make release was 
~3 hours. 

But, it sounds like you're more interested in disk performance than low
build times. Once I get in enough gear (read: my processor) for my Athlon
1800+, I'll let you know what I can do with a GB of PC2100 RAM these days.
