Make buildworld is what takes the most time. Most middle of the road modern machines take something like around an hour and a half to build world. Kernel build takes around ten to fifteen minutes. On higher end hardware these times can be quite a bit less. On really old enough hardware it can take much, much longer than this. If you are not a kernel-hacking developer might I respectfully suggest beginning with RELEASE and NOT -CURRENT? -Mike
