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.
