Compile times on my 1.4 GHz box were always pretty good (around a minute for a full build on MinGW, faster on Linux).
Glad to see you're back! I recently had to replace my CD-RW after 2 years of service (and it only had a 1 year warranty!
) If you get a chance (I know you've got lots to do lately) to grab the latest CVS and take a look at AvP, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
