It is, but you certainly started off with a *slow* build.  On my old P5/166
with 64 MB of RAM, I could do it in about four hours.  With my dual P6/200
with 128 MB of RAM (same disk partitions and such) and parallel build and
soft updates, I'm down to about 1 hour and 20 minutes.  Kernels build in
just over two minutes.  :)  I think you may need to optimize your system a
bit.  ;)
