On one of my setups it takes about 4mins (8 dual core AMD chips help), but that's not one I can use as easily as my fit-pc2 desktop where it takes just a tiny bit loner (especially with -O0 and all assertions enabled). It takes long enough there that I don't even know how long because I usually only do it when I can swap to some other long task. :) I've never timed the bootstrap; intuitively, I come back to the build, check to see that it runs with a few idiosyncratic functions and move on with make info and so on. I just figure the possible waste of time, let alone other's time and additionally building again (given not bootstrapping in the first place) doesn't work for me. I don't recall my Unix build process (and rarely bootstrapping a second time after an initial one) taking much less time ... I think I'm just always pleased with the reward of a wonderful GNU Emacs (and come on, folks, I know some of you jaded son-of-guns still experience some wonderment). I'm in NYC, I can get a pint of ice cream or a quart of milk in 5 minutes round trip, building Emacs in what ever time it happens to be is Worth It.
