indeed more accurate number is 25 minutes and 16 seconds (I compared timestamps). The machine is the MNT Reform open hardware laptop with a Banana Pi CM4 A311D. So yes, the CPU is slow. It has six cores but it seems like only one of them was used for the whole operation. On top of that, the system was running from an SD-card so the I/O is very slow as well (20 MB/s R/W but I think the operation is CPU bound). And on top of that this was a fresh installation of texlive-all, so nearly 10 GB of packages got installed all in a single "apt install". Thanks! cheers, josch
