A time of 1hour is pretty normal for a kernel on an SA.

Sounds quite slow. On my SA RiscPC make build takes just under 24 hours. On a 
positive note this build time has remained almost the same despite the fact 
that the NetBSD source tree continues to grow so performance is improving.

make build is memory and disk intensive and the PC has much faster interfaces 
to both of those.
