For the curious ones the machine is a 2001 IBM Thinkpad T22 with 20Gb of HDD, 256 Mb of RAM and an Intel Pentium 3 @ 900MHz.

    I’m running gentoo on an i9 13th gen. Regular updates don’t take long at all. I’m not really sure how long it would take to build the whole thing. I’ve never build the whole repo.Build times can vary greatly depending on how you build the package. Chromium and qtwebkit are by far the slowest packages to build. But I have lto and pgo enabled, the lto step is pretty slow and pgo causes the software to be built twice and as a joked about in my other comment, building chromium with all 32 CPU cores will eat up all 32G of ram and get OOM killed, so I build that with -j 10. so that’s not helping build time. I’ll get more ram eventually.
