Kernel Build Time

It takes me just under 3 hours to build kernel packages with Pat's scripts. That's using my desktop which has the best specs. Is 3 hours good, bad or it depends?

Pat's scripts build all 5 packages (source, huge, generic, modules & headers). I only need the kernel-generic & the kernel-modules packages to build the initrd & run the custom kernels.

I started by following dive's helpful doc: Yet Another Kernel Compile Guide

I've setup a couple scripts that run from a KDE5 terminal or CLI tty (KDE5 logged out) at similar speeds:
  1. setup the build directories & download the build files then
  2. modify the config files, prepare the variables & run Pat's build-all-kernel.sh script.
I haven't built kernels for a long time so I'm a bit rusty on the best ways.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=RI8PIIJfrLY:AeIvggw_wzU:F7zBnMy latest?i=RI8PIIJfrLY:AeIvggw_wzU:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=RI8PIIJfrLY:AeIvggw_wzU:gIN9vFwRI8PIIJfrLY
