No, I meant that I already had QT, and this is how long it took me to 
recompile kde.

There are at least two alternatives here: use precompiled GRP packages 
(available for download from gentoo mirrors - not 100% uptodate right now, 
but will be for 1.4 release) or, compile on your faster machine in a chroot 
and copy over to your slower one, or even distribute compiles with distcc 
(natively supported by portage) or openmosix.

Choosing the wrong flag: look at the big picture. Flags give you the power of 
choice, which is the same as the power of making mistakes, yes. Would you 
rather that we hardcoded defaults?
