You can see the merge time getting longer with each version (I'm using
x86_64 so it may do some extra compiles for 32/64 stuff):
Wed Jun 20 17:24:25 2007 >>> sys-devel/gcc-3.3.6-r1
merge time: 6 minutes and 43 seconds.
Tue Jun 12 22:34:39 2007 >>> sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2
merge time: 25 minutes and 25 seconds.
Fri Jul 20 21:15:31 2007 >>> sys-devel/gcc-4.2.0
merge time: 36 minutes and 2 seconds.
Mon Jun 9 11:39:41 2008 >>> sys-devel/gcc-4.3.1
merge time: 48 minutes and 9 seconds.
Mon Oct 6 12:56:57 2008 >>> sys-devel/gcc-4.3.2
merge time: 1 hour, 7 minutes and 53 seconds.
It still has a way to go if it wants to beat OpenOffice (the king):
Tue Aug 19 20:47:26 2008 >>> app-office/openoffice-2.4.1
merge time: 2 hours, 43 minutes and 43 seconds.
