I have to disagree. On my laptop Dell Inspiron 6400, Dual Core Pentium
(T2130) 1.8 GHz,
2 GB RAM, 160 GB HD. The compile time is absolutely OK. Important is
that the feature
"ccache" in make.conf is enabled and MAKEOPTS has a reasonable value, I
have set it
to "-j2". I follow the rule MAKEOPTS=<number CPUS>. But in the case of
openoffice, the
ebuild overwrite this value with "-j1". For the version 2.3.x I had set
the variable
WANT_MP but with version 2.4 it breaks the build. But how you can see
in the following,
that's only a minor problem.
