Is it an IDE drive of the same size?  Should drop right in and work.

Depends on where the bottleneck of your system is.  Compiling is simply
parsing nested heaps of text files, looking up the instructions, and often
optimizing the instruction flow for your particular hardware.  If you have 
enough memory, it will keep swapping of all that hectic activity down, 
leaving your CPU as the bottleneck.

I remember it taking overnight and perhaps a day on my 1GHzP3.
