Did an install on my HP Compaq 6710b. I went with Plasma and Wayland.
The official Gentoo binhost definitely helped, although many packages still had to be compiled.
I had to stick with -j1 for sys-devel/gcc, else the compilation would fail.

Going through its yearly update: Pentium-M 1.6GHz (1C1T Dothan, 32-bit only), 1.5GiB RAM, mechanical HDD, distcc (had to cut real low as it kept OOM'ing, so -lto -pgo)

2024-01-24T13:37:50 >>> sys-devel/gcc-13.2.1_p20240113-r1: 7:48:53 (should have been mostly self compiled)
2024-01-25T13:44:16 >>> dev-lang/rust-1.71.1: 9:41:18 (distcc'ed some of llvm)
2024-01-25T23:33:35 >>> dev-util/cbindgen-0.26.0: 0:40:34 (cannot distcc)
2024-01-26T00:21:00 >>> gnome-base/librsvg-2.56.3: 0:52:03 (cannot distcc)

It's still working on update... but a bit faster than my Atom N270.

I guess that I am the one with the heavy iron, Ryzen 9 7950x

Just some of my make.conf opts

Crappy rust and llvm recently seemed to have started to do something that really kills computers with low memory, had to reduce -j down really low to finish where it had been fine before. -j had been nice because rust's llvm and llvm itself of course can be distcc'ed. But now not so much if the higher -j number runs out of memory during one lousy step...

My 1.5GiB computer (laptop) wishes it had 8GiB!
Using lots of swap didn't help... llvm-tblgen is awful.

both systems are:
Ryzen 3700x
64 GB
/var/tmp/portage mounted on tmpfs with swap on SSD if it's necessary
driver: amd-pstate-epp
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported.
hardware limits: 550 MHz - 4.43 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 550 MHz and 4.43 GHz.
The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use
within this range.

EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--verbose --jobs=16 --load-average=16.0 --with-bdeps=y --autounmask-keep-masks"
MAKEOPTS="-j16 -l16"
CCACHE_SIZE="100G" (on SSD)

with identical (or close to it) USE flags and packages installed, with alpha also being a lightly used server (web, email, ftp, backups).
Both running Mate/Xorg, with two browsers and thunderbird open

Updates happen daily and as my make settings show, are compiled in parallel with other packages that could affect build time, which ccache can also affect. Interestingly, with ccache, some extremely long builds, like ungoogled-chromium, can take 4 hours on 1 machine and 1 hour on the other machine, depending on what all happened to get saved and had a cache hit. ungoogled-chromium is a nightmare that I usually build by itself. Unfortunately, some websites don't want to work properly with anything but chrome, so I have to keep it around. The enshittification of the web, brought to you by google. Who needs standards when we can relive the Netscape/IE web of the 90s?
