There are a few tricks on how to shrink the boost install time on this page 
here:

If you have a reasonably recent machine (dual-core or better), building boost 
should take no more than a few minutes from start to finish (in Linux--no idea 
about MingW though.)

Oh great. Is there anything that Windows gets right? :)

Well, thanks for reporting this. I've hacked up a stopgap measure that uses an 
md5sum of $HOME instead of an uid if getuid() is unavailable. This is in git. 
Let me know what I've broken in the process.
