current long build time

[Riccardo Mottola <riccardo.mottola%libero.it@localhost>]

Hi all,

I am in the process updating (thus to test) my laptop (HP620 - dual core 
amd64) to current.

My first attempt failed, in userland because I used "-u" flag and 
clearly something broke.

Now I went the "Long" route

1) build tools, build kernel

2) reboot new kernel (works!)

3) rebuild tools to match kernel

4) build & install modules

5) build userland (-U -x)


I notice that 5) is running since yesterday evening, almost 24hrs now - 
I was accustomed to it to finish in a couple of hours, usually I was 
able to update during business hours. Is this expected, like are we 
compiling lots of new stuff... or is something going wrong that 
considerably slows down the process.
