Thanks, I have looked at the handbook quite carefully, but what it doesn't really specify is approximately how long compiling might take. It only goes as far as saying that it will take a long time but thats quite difficult to interpret (in computing terms and hour is long time to perform a task in my opinion though I know from experience that compiling even quite small programs can take a while).
Well, it is a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" type of quetsion, though I guess a few examples could be given.
