OK. The problem is that I typed "emerge openoffice" in a xterm. Is it
possible to turn X off and continue compilation on console?

/home/rjf > genlop -t openoffice
 * app-office/openoffice

     Mon Nov 13 01:35:33 2006 >>> app-office/openoffice-2.0.4
       merge time: 2 hours, 39 minutes and 34 seconds.

     Fri Nov 17 05:21:32 2006 >>> app-office/openoffice-2.0.4
       merge time: 2 hours, 33 minutes and 31 seconds.

That's on an Athlon X2 4400+ with 2GB of RAM, with MAKEOPTS=-j2 and
WANT_MP=true in the environment.  (Hmm, I should time this on my Core
Duo laptop also...)

But yeah, on a single-core P4 with 512MB, I'd expect on the order of
5-10 hours too.  You might want to shutdown memory-consuming apps
(like X!) while the compile is running.
