I have seen specific instances where ldconfig after a package merge takes what I would consider "a long time"-- but they are specific instances (perl, I think, or maybe it was binutils; I just rebuilt my toolchain, so I'm not exactly sure which of the 131 packages it was); as Richard says, 99.9% of the time, ldconfig takes a very short time (a few seconds) when run by Portage at the end of an emerge.
