I don't think it makes sense to discuss absolut build times and if
this is long or not.
As you see on the list above, it depends on a huge amount of other
factors.
Getting the build time down from 3.5 to 2.5 hours on the same hardware
in the same environment is a very big step. And looking at the big
amount of data needed for my maps, I don't have the feeling
that 2.5 hours are a long time.

The hardware isn't the fastest one, and the OS is the newest SLES
not yet available on the market, so this will not help you, too ;)
