The good news is that you don't have to watch it compile. I build the latest GCC snapshot and the latest XFree from CVS every night while I sleep. They both seem to build faster, in fact, if I *don't* watch. ;-)
OO takes an order of magnitude longer to build than XFree86 & gcc combined, or so i've heard. I've built XFree86 in about 45 minutes (4.2.0), and gcc in about 60 minutes in the past.
