Excluding tde-18n, which at the moment builds as a single package, the build time for the remaining 162 packages is about 2 to 2.5 hours in a VM on my 8 year old 4-core system with SATA III SSDs. A 32-bit VM runs a bit slower. A test run on a dual core with 4 GB RAM and using the SATA II SSD as working space rather than tmpfs required about 5.25 hours.
Oh, that takes me back. I recall building for Arch in the 3.5.13-sru days on a pentium class box. For a full build without koffice it was a little short of 4 hours with all the dependencies. With koffice it was just short of 7 hours for the build of everything.
Would be fun to compare with the current Intel i5-8500 with m.2 SSD and 32G of RAM to play with.
A comparison between the SSD and putting it all on a tmpfs in RAM would also be interesting to see how the build time improve.
