I last did buildworld buildkernel on a RPi4B 8 GiByte
was back in mid Jan of 2021. A summary is:

ENVIRONMENT: -mcpu=cortex-a72 RPi4B @ 2000 MHz (sdram_freq_min=3200), hw.physmem:8464072704 :

World build completed on Tue Jan 19 07:33:02 PST 2021
World built in 29226 seconds, ncpu: 4, make -j4
Kernel build for GENERIC-NODBG completed on Tue Jan 19 08:10:58 PST 2021
Kernel(s)  GENERIC-NODBG built in 2276 seconds, ncpu: 4, make -j4

So World+Kernel took somewhat under 9 hrs to build based on
a context for which:

make[1]: "/usr/fbsd/mm-src/Makefile.inc1" line 339: SYSTEM_COMPILER: Determined that CC=cc matches the source tree.  Not bootstrapping a cross-compiler.
make[1]: "/usr/fbsd/mm-src/Makefile.inc1" line 344: SYSTEM_LINKER: Determined that LD=ld matches the source tree.  Not bootstrapping a cross-linker.

This was based on main 818390ce0ca5 and was building
itself from scratch, doing a non-debug build on a
non-debug system that had been built with -mcpu=cortex-a72
in use as well.

As is normal for small boards with USB3 in my context: a
USB3 SSD UFS2+SU file system on USB3 port and no use of
tmpfs or the like. microsd card not in use. Swap partition
used.
