Make buildworld is what takes the most time. Most middle of the road modern
machines take something like around an hour and a half to build world.
Kernel build takes around ten to fifteen minutes. On higher end hardware
these times can be quite a bit less.
On really old enough hardware it can take much, much longer than this.
If you are not a kernel-hacking developer might I respectfully suggest
beginning with RELEASE and NOT -CURRENT?
