It's just finished now at 1pm - 12 hours! KDE is in so far better as it doesn't forbit parallel compiling - as OO does. So I can use distcc and let all my boxes contribute. That brings the compile time of KDE down a lot. Unfortunately, that isn't possible with OO. > > But having said that, I've noticed that this kernel gives really slow disk > IO which I haven't managed to track down.

Too many problems with 19.
