That seems slow Uwe... On my MacBook Pro (2.93 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4 Gb RAM and 7200 RPM HD), I can compile and run make check-all for a 32 bit OSX build in around 40 minutes.... That also includes the disk/CPU overhead of full disk encryption, for which I take about a 10-15% hit on disk I/O throughput.
