Webkit-gtk definitely has been taking longer to build:
Sun Oct 23 16:27:39 2011 >>> net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.4.3-r300
merge time: 12 minutes and 18 seconds.
Sat May 19 22:31:00 2012 >>> net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.6.3-r300
merge time: 15 minutes and 37 seconds.
Thu Oct 18 14:52:57 2012 >>> net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.8.3-r300
merge time: 29 minutes and 1 second.
Sun Dec 1 15:33:43 2013 >>> net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.0.4
merge time: 50 minutes and 21 seconds.
Mon Mar 10 09:09:33 2014 >>> net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.2.5
merge time: 46 minutes and 8 seconds.
Wed May 28 14:07:43 2014 >>> net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.2.6
merge time: 1 hour, 39 minutes and 57 seconds.
Granted, I don't know what else was going on with the machine when I
was building it, but you can see the trend.
I do think a reference binary package repository for Gentoo would be a
good thing, but obviously it will be limited to some standard set of
USE flags. Nothing says that we can only distribute binary packages
if upstream does, though in some cases bindist will apply.
