Darrell, David,
Number of cores tends to perform better -j4 for 4 cores. The +1 thing has
been disputed numerous times :)

koffice was

Yeah. Been there done that. :) I submitted a bug report to split the
koffice package into smaller modules.
Looks like kis_png_converter.cc needs patching.
I'll
see if I can figure it out based on the gwenview patch. I think that is
all it
needs. If anyone is good with this and can beat
me to it, my hat is off
to you.
There was a patch to that same file 2012-01-11. I suspect the libpng 1.5
changes require a similar change.

And wow - processor speed really makes a huge
difference in build times. For the packages I'm building on arch:
i686 build - old p4 2800
Build time 462 min. ~ 7.7 hours
x86_64 build - newer (but old) 9850 X4
Build time 224 min. ~ 3.7 hours
Never really built projects this large before, but speed -- does
matter :)
Yes, speed is good for development but bad for users. Developers get
accustomed to their scream demons and then forget to test on older hardware.
I have tried several times to use ccache to improve build times, but I
never have gotten that process to work for me. I want to try distcc because
I have two dual core machines here. I'm just not sure I want to burn the
extra wattage.
If your new system is multi-core then use parallel processing. The general
guideline is NUM_CORES + 1. I have a dual core and set NUMJOBS=-j3. My
build scripts then run make $NUMJOBS.
Check the wiki but I believe only two packages fail to build with parallel
processing: tdebindings and tdemultimedia.
