I've been compiling firefox-pgo for a while now from the AUR, from 7 AM EST to now, which is just about 11 AM EST. It's still doing it, how long do you think it will take?

it all depends on your rig, how much swap you got, etc...

258 mb of swap, 1 gb of ram. I should be fine.

It takes about 2 hours on my machine. P4 3.06 Ghz HT, 2 Gb DDR2 ram.

i think he made the mistake of a small swap, it's bottle necking the memory, using memory to store temp instead of having more ram to process. swap on that machine should be at least 1.5 gig.

It's not a support question. Why should it be locked?
