I don't have C++ installed, and it completed pretty quick on both my desktop 
and my notebook.

        I have C++ installed, and indeed it takes a decade to complete. I don't 
think the # of files has anything to do with it, as the copying of the files 
takes less than 10 minutes, it's the gathering information stage which just 
sits there for 35-40 minutes without any diskactivity and 100% cpu usage. 
(perhaps a secret sethi @ home project... ;)
