Building older and current kernels with configurations that are close to Debian, Ubuntu or Arch Linux defaults takes around 90 minutes (in the past perhaps a little bit less and today perhaps around 120 minutes, I need to check this) on my 2.1GHz dual-core Athlon 64-bit, 4GiB RAM, concurrency level 2, resp. 2 jobs, but there quasi is no difference, if I don't use concurrency level 2, resp. 2 jobs. Older computers 900MHz single-core Athlon 32-bit, 2GiB and less, can't be used when compiling a kernel. I could use my computer while building the kernel, but I prefer to not use it, because it can cause issues.
