That's quite slow compared to what I get.  On my 2x133MHz Pentium
machine (-j8, src/obj on separate (src SCSI, obj IDE, neither is
particularly fast) disks, -pipe, noatime, obj async):

The source tree had been cvsupped a few hours earlier.

I guess the >7h and >5h results are with a SMP kernel but without -jX?

Before I had SMP working properly, I made world on the same machine
with a single CPU kernel, no -pipe, no noatime or async, obj and src
on the same disk.  It took just under 6h.

An SMP kernel does seem to slow some things down a bit.
