9 minutes!?!? I'm flabbergasted. The machines I have around here, I consider 1 hour to compile a kernel pretty good. Actually I'm in the process of migrating to newer hardware, but I haven't tested kernel compilation times. Nevertheless: it's a server. Open a `tmux` session, start it compiling, go watch a movie. Stroller.
