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).

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 :-)

Which is rather worrying (seti screensaver runs very nice-d)  and I wasn't
using the graphics output...

Ho Hum... :-)

Hey, I'll try it again (with the correct config.) sometime soon...
