Hi Alan,just quick and dirty, I am too tired for formalities. :) The following list contains packages, that may be too big for tmpfs and are most probably very time consuming to compile:

After my long time away from Gentoo, I thought perhaps some packages that always took ages to compile would have improved. I needed to change to ~amd64 anyway (dumb n00b mistake leaving it at amd64). So that's what I did and let emerge do it's thing.chromium has been building since 10:14, it's now 21:16 and still going so 9 hours at least on this machine to build a browser - almost as bad as openoffice at it's worst (regularly took 12 hours). Nodejs also took a while, but I didn't record time.What other packages have huge build times? -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
