Upgrade to a dual Athlon? :-) Oh, wait, Win98 doesn't support dual
processing...
It does take that long. You don't say what processor you have, but on
a 350MHz K62, a bootstrap takes a long time for me - roughly 2.5 hrs
to finish the bootstrap, then another 2 to 3 hours for the testsuites.
Java helped a lot in adding time to this :-) I hope Ada doesn't make
it worse again.
It's way faster on my 800MHz Duron, at least 3 times...
