You should know better that hyper-threading is far from having 8 real cores, you're compile time is probably nearly the same as with hyper-threading disabled. > > So - Should I be worried?

Thank You... > > --Jason Did you read section 4.5 "About SBUs"?[1]. It says that average compile time is measured depending on how long it took you to compile the very first package. GCC in chapter 6 (6.17) says: "Approximate build time: 47 SBU", so if your binutils package took 10 minutes, your GCC compilation would take about 47*10 = 470 minutes, almost 8 hours.
