6 On my AMD Athlon 2500+ with 1024 MB memory
7 & 13 GB disk available for PORTAGE_TMPDIR , download took 30 m
8 & compiling lasted 5 h 14 m & on earlier occasions used 4 GB disk.
9 I leave it running while I'm asleep -- not always at night (grin) --
10 & do it in a root Konsole on one of my 10 KDE desktops;
11 I kill Xscreensaver & switch off the monitor while I'm sleeping:
12 some of the screensavers use a lot of CPU.
13 The longest pkg otherwise seems to be Kword + 5 deps at 1 h 22 m ;
14 several other pkgs take 1 h +/- a bit.

16 There is a binary, but that's not the Gentoo Way (tm).
