8 hours seems unreasonably long for a p4, especially in 2010

In 2005, i compiled linux kernel in 15 minutes on AMD Duron 700. Is true that was a very optimized kernel for my architecture, but i think that the typical kernel with all modules could get 1 hour or something.

Damn, thats pretty fast. Maybe I was doing something wrong in the config step?

not sure how much can really be done wrong, worst case would probably be an allyesconfig, which is huge, and while it was still big in 2010, it was considerably less so than now

I cannot overstate how poor the performance of various P4s was at the time.
Especially if you had some crap P4 that made modern gaming laptops look well-circulated.

Given that those optiplexes also had what is called "capacitor plague", that's more literal than you might have thought.

I was also thinking the same thing when writing it ha ha.
2010. I needed to do so for my Linux Kernel university class.
It took 8 hours on this piece of junk Pentium 4 I found in the school's e-waste bin. You know those Black Dell Optiplex machines that were everywhere like a plague.
They were days of such stress but also so much bliss.
