It has been a long, long time since I last rebuilt the XFree86 rpms ... at
that time it did not use buildroot.
So when I saw the need to rebuild the updates/testing version of XFree86 for
the x86_64, I was not looking forward to the amount of time it would take (I
figured all afternoon). Much to my surprise, it was done in less 90 minutes
(how much less I do not know).
Now I know that processors have gotten faster but the last time it seemed to
take about 4 to 6 hours.
I do not know if it the faster processors (Opteron 140), code changes in
XFree86, or local Red Hat stuff but this was a very pleasant surprise.
