  Until very recently, my one and only main dev box was an 850MHz athlon
with 384Megs of memory on board.  Running full bootstraps and tests for
Cygwin could take a week.

  [  I've recently moved to a dual core athlon 64 with 4g ram.  It still
takes a couple of days but I haven't been using -j (ran into a build failure
the first time I tried and didn't have time to look into it) nor building
ada or libjava, so it's a lot smaller job.  ]

    cheers,
