I just fetched a fresh 2.6.23.3 kernel from kernel.org and did a make on it with all of the defaults:

sys     0m18.100s

This is under Xen with 1G of RAM on my personal mail server (pretty active) with a 2.2G dual core AMD64.

A far, far cry from 5 hours.

I wouldn't compare kernel build times without comparing kernel
configuration options.  Minimal vs full kernel builds vary by about 30-fold
in build time.

Yesterday, I posted my build time for my kernels.

  allno :    40 seconds
  mine  :   2 min
  allyes:  20 min

That's all on the same machine, same kernel version, different options.
