There has been a lot of work recently on making GCC output faster code.  But
GCC isn't very fast.  On my slow 750MHz Linux box (which the PIII in it is now
R.I.P), it took a whole night to compile 3.4.3.

The memory of your box is probably too small, the CPU is IMHO OK. FYI: IIRC I've been doing 3.4.x builds on my 1GHz PIII + 512MB RAM for around 30 minutes (c/c++) and for around 1.5 hour full build.

Cheers,
Karel
