Same here. Rebuilding world should take a while.
Hold the phone!! OOo just completed building on my system in 4h 08m
07s. When I get some time I'm going to have try that again with gcc
3.4.6 for a comparison...

Do you find any benefit from building OOo yourself? I built OOo once
about 2 years ago, and it took ages then. Since then I have always just
use OOo-bin.
Mostly size. From my quickpkg collection:
carcharias All # bzcat openoffice-bin-2.0.2.tbz2 | wc -c
bzcat: openoffice-bin-2.0.2.tbz2: trailing garbage after EOF ignored
317675520
carcharias All # bzcat openoffice-2.0.2-r2.tbz2 | wc -c
bzcat: openoffice-2.0.2-r2.tbz2: trailing garbage after EOF ignored
286371840
Saved about 40M by compiling myself, by eliminating the duplicate
stuff in /usr/lib/openoffice (e.g., python).
But I have been loading OOo2 at login using the 'ooffice2 -nologo
-nodefault' method, so I didn't see (or expect to see) any
improvements in startup speed. It is already typically one second or
less on my system.
