Between 22 to 26 hours.  Pentium classic, 166MHz, 32 MB RAM.

When I bumped up the RAM to 48, it cut that down to under a day because
it didn't have to swap all the time.  I think it was somehwere between
8 and 16 hours then.

Oh, on my good system, it takes about 15 mins.
Dual P4 3.2 GHz with HT enabled (four virtual procs)
1 GB RAM

And I haven't done a recent buildworld on my dual proc Alpha in a while.
