Days? I just emerged 1.0.3 yesterday while I was at work, took only about 8-9 hours. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I did compile from the console with no X running. Athlon XP 2800+ nForce2 1gig PC2700 DDR.

Relatively long time ... I have done it in 6 hours on this PC:
CPU ... P4 1,6GHz 512KB cache (overclocked to 2,08GHz)
RAM ... 512MB DDR PC2100 CL2
HDD... WD 800jb (8MB cache, hdparm -tT speed ... 45,2/380 MB/s )

Can you please more precisely specify your PC ? What about HDD speed (output from hdparm -Tt /dev/YOUR_HDD ) and CL of your DDRAM. Was your PC under significant load by other tasks ?
