I think I may have made a configuration mistake (see Michel's mail).

Hmm, that's probably not the reason. (see below)

However, 300M G3, UW SCSI + 256 Mb RAM ==> 6.5-ish Hours (*all* day was only
a slight exaggeration :-).

(OK, so I did a kernel build as well [30 mins] and had a screen saver
running - but... )

I'm guessing that your screen saver might have been using a bit much
CPU.  I built XF4 on my powerbook wallstreet 233 in a little under 2
hours, with no configuration file changes. (except for ProjectRoot).

Definately no UW SCSI and only 160M of ram.  You should be able to
build in 1.5 hours I would think, with that setup. :)

Similar here on a Lombard 400 MHz - 1.5 hours, with ProjectRoot on a NFS
mount. Only 64 MB RAM, only config file change was not to build fonts.

The screen saver must have been running at over 60% CPU :-)
