I started emerge system before going to bed one night, it was done when I got up in the morning, so no more than 8 hours. A clean kernel compile took about 25 minutes. X (X.org version) took around 3 or 4 hours if I remember correctly, but here's where I learned my first lesson about thinking ahead in what you compile. I compiled 6.8.0 on its own, then realised I needed ati-drivers, but it turns out ati-drivers only works with 6.7.0 so it had to downgrade and recompile the older X before installing the drivers. Oops. :-) Oh well. As for KDE, I've been doing that in parts (rather than just "emerge kde", since I never use things like kdeedu, for example). kdelibs and kdebase I did in one emerge, they took around 16 hours (they sucked in a number of dependancies too, but those two were the two heaviest compiles). kdepim took around 4 or 5, kdenetwork I'm not sure about because I went to bed but at least 3 hours. I'm still going - this morning I started kdeaddons and kdeadmin, which have been going for about an hour now.
