Well I sort of timed it over the weekend. It took less than 
16 hours on my 750MHz Duron. After I unmounted my home 
directory and remounted it under the portage directory so I
had sufficient diskspace for the compile (only had 2.8GB free). :/

I didn't analyze it. I had nothing displayed in the pulldown menus.
It pulled them down but they were invisible. and all the text for the 
menubar was nothing but a dash type graphic. Now everything is fine.
But occasionally it locks up on me. Still it's pretty nice, just need 
to learn where everything is and how to make it all work. Too bad it's 
not intuitively obvious how to do things.
