On my laptop Dell Inspiron 6400, Dual Core Pentium (T2130) 1.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HD. The compile time is absolutely OK. Important is that the feature "ccache" in make.conf is enabled and MAKEOPTS has a reasonable value, I have set it to "-j2". I follow the rule MAKEOPTS=<number CPUS>. But in the case of openoffice, the ebuild overwrite this value with "-j1". For the version 2.3.x I had set the variable WANT_MP but with version 2.4 it breaks the build. But how you can see in the following, that's only a minor problem.
