Depends on a great many factors. RAM, CPU, and HD chief among them. my guess is that if you've got a fast HD, or have things split up between multiple SCSI HD, maybe between IDE HD on different cables, that that might be reasonable. I've got a Celeron-500 w/128MB RAM and a single, 10G IDE drive that does a make world in just about an hour. Then again, I've got an older, Dual-Pentium Pro box with 64MB of ram and a single 2GB HD that takes about 5-6 hours.
