The time has everything to do with filesystem speed (and sytem load),
and very little to do with CPU speed.  It literally takes only a few seconds
on most unloaded modern systems with a good hard drive, since all it
is doing is looking at a bunch of files and in some cases making some
changes to them (mainly in Python's site-package).

Maybe your machine has a really slow filesystem driver or was doing
something else at the same time or something.

In any case, it would likely be easy to rewrite this functionality to
give some sort
of progress meter.  If that sounds like a good idea to you, feel free to open
a trac ticket and it will eventually happen.
