How long to build from source?

[nottobay]

I have a 5 year old a8 laptop. How can I figure out how long compiling the
current source will take?

I'm an idiot. I think I put my instead of ny for the url I gave FTP. I'll
check that sometime after I get home.

Can I use pkg_src to upgrade to current?

I'm new to BSD in general and coming from Linux. I tried pulling the

to upgrade in place from release to current or do I have to build
everything?
