OOo 3 builds faster than 2.4. 1h40 vs 2h45 on my desktop, but took
slightly longer on my Eee 10h45 :(

 On some of my machines it still takes 12+ hours.

 On my back-up machine (AMD 2500+ , memory 1 GB : 2003), 2.4.1 took   5 hr .
 My everyday box (Core 2 Duo 2650 , memory 2 GB (faster FSB) : 2007),
 OO 2.4.1 took  2 h 14 m , so 3.0.0 is a bit more time-consuming;
 the download is much more:  346 MB  against  c 200 MB
 (that doesn't include the wretched Xulrunner:  75 MB15 m  to compile).
 I suspect there wb pleas for help from users who run out of disk space:
 earlier versions needed   3 GB , so this is a big jump,
 esp as I have  2 GB  memory (I didn't check how much it was using).

On my system (Core 2 Duo E6600, overclocked to 3GHz) my OOo times were:

 Tue Aug 19 20:47:26 2008  app-office/openoffice-2.4.1
   merge time: 2 hours, 43 minutes and 43 seconds.

 Fri Oct 17 21:22:31 2008  app-office/openoffice-3.0.0
   merge time: 1 hour, 33 minutes and 40 seconds.

So the 3.0.0 compile is definitely faster by a lot for me. In 2.4.1 I
was able to use my 4 gig /dev/shm for my portage_tmpdir, but for 3.0.0
i had to comment out and use disk for temporary files. Maybe it could
have been even faster.

Thanks,
Paul

 It opened my usual spreadsheets  word-processing files correctly,
 but the toolbar needs attention tomorrow.  Download is  346 MB .

 Build time is coming down I see. The first time I build OOo (on a 686 amd) it 
 took 12 hours. Now I get similar to you - 2h14

I have 4.5G free in /var and I've already run out of disk space TWICE trying 
to build OOo-3.0.0. I had to create a temporary logical volume and mount it 
at /var/tmp/portage/ just to get the thing to build.

This is getting insane. Sun needs to have a good long hard look at this build 
process - 5G+ to build a package that totals 380M when installed is just a 
tad over the top in my book

Someone once told me there is a library he needs for math and physics a
the university. The library is only like 500kb but it takes more than
4gb to build it. This is insane.

I have a  20 GB  virtual hangar which I mount as  /z ,
where I create ISOs  also use for Portage builds as  /z/tmp
(this is set somewhere in  make.conf ; I do use LVM).
Ordinarily (eg now),  c 2,7 GB  are used, so there's plenty for OO.
