Just for reference, here's some comparative data:
Here at Sun, on a dual 2.2Ghz Opteron w/ 4gb of RAM, it takes around
30 minutes to do a build.
Those settings work for my laptop, too. HotSpot (alone) builds in
under 30 minutes. I run JVM builds on my MacBook Pro 2.2Ghz, 4Gb,
HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=3. Putting the build directory in /tmp (RAM disk)
makes a huge difference. The sources are reached over NFS (guest/host
connection). The hotspot build only takes about 20 minutes. I'm
looking forward to BSD-based builds, but for now am using Solaris/
VMWare.
