When I neeed to re-compile Java at work I usually set it going around
lunchtime and just leave it. It's done by the next morning, but it's never
finished before I leave work that night - so somewhere between 7 and 22 hours
for me (P2.4 desktop, 15k SCSI though I dont think disc speed matters). Never
measured it precisely though.

But it's not nippy, thats for sure...
