What's the speed of your box? I recently did an emerge --emptytree world on my 1.6G Pentium M laptop. It had 446 packages done in less than 29 hours (I say less than because if would run long stretches at a time and stop after failed downloads here and there because of wireless problems... for all I know it could have been sitting there waiting for me to fix my wireless router for a couple of hours or more). So if you have a comparably fast system, with not too many useflags enabled, I'd say that 120 packages in 6 hours is quite possible.
