offhand, i doubt that this is related to the recent makepkg config changes;
because that was three weeks ago, and everything seemed fine last week
 
i have been compiling kernels for about 10 days - the last builds were very
slow for all arches - i noticed because the ARM build is taking an absurdly
long time - i compared the build times for this release to the ones from last
week, and the stats are striking

the difference could be related to the kernel version - that is the only
known variable; but it is hard to believe such a difference - maybe something
in the config is accounting for this - or maybe beefcake just needs a reboot
after spending so much time in swap-land

the kernel is maybe more suspect; but its hard to know for sure, because of the
build order - on the 13th, the ARM build completed (in a typical time-frame) and
i started the x86_64 build of the other release - that x86_64 build took much
longer than usual, nearly the same amount of time as the ARM build, when all
things being equal, there is normally an order of magnitude difference - OTOH,
it could be that the ARM build put beefcake in a bad state

whatever the cause, it is a remarkable performance difference - i dont want to
stop the arm build, just in case it completes, and i dont want to start any
more in case it needs all of the RAM; so i wont be able to try other package
until then - iceweasel is ready in my queue now though - that would be a good
test

linux-libre 6.9.3
x86_64 | june  7th |  3h 30m
i686   | june 10th |  4h 40m
armv7h | june 13th | 16h 40m

linux-libre 6.6.32
x86_64 | june 13th |  16h
i686   | june 13th |   8h (failed - did not complete)
armv7h | june 14th | >72h (is still running)

just a heads up to luke - maybe you have some ideas - i probably will want to
reboot beefcake tomorrow (whenever the ARM build completes or fails); but maybe
an iceweasel experiment would be informative first
