My build took about 3.3Gbs of drive space.  I ran du just about 5 
minutes before it finished so that is pretty close.  I would say that 
4Gbs should be enough at least on a setup like mine.  You don't want to 
push your luck to far.  lol

On my machine, it took this:

root@fireball / # genlop -t libreoffice
  * app-office/libreoffice

      Thu Jul 28 12:33:11 2011 >>> app-office/libreoffice-3.3.1
        merge time: 1 hour, 9 minutes and 33 seconds.

root@fireball / #

I did stop it with a ctrl Z for about 5 minutes.  I was deleting stuff 
to give it some more room.  This is OOo:

      Tue Jul  5 05:15:01 2011 >>> app-office/openoffice-3.2.1-r1
        merge time: 50 minutes and 27 seconds.


That's about a average.  Some were binary installs.  I can't recall why 
I did that now but it was since it only took a minute or so.

That's the report from this rig.  AMD 4 cores running at 3.2Ghz with 
16Gbs of ram.  No tmpfs this time.  That wouldn't be fair since I had to 
stop it for a few minutes.
