And I'll prove it.
I'm building MySQL 4.0.14 on an old Sun box.
How old?
It's a Sparc 20 with two blazing fast 75MHz CPUs!
SunOS Release 5.6 Version Generic_105181-23 [UNIX(R) System V Release 4.0] Copyright (c) 1983-1997, Sun Microsystems, Inc. pac: enabled - SuperSPARC/SuperCache cpu0: TI,TMS390Z55 (mid 8 impl 0x0 ver 0xc clock 75 MHz) cpu1: TI,TMS390Z55 (mid 10 impl 0x0 ver 0xc clock 75 MHz) mem = 393216K (0x18000000) avail mem = 389087232
I'll let you know when it's done, next week.
At least it's not short on memory... Imagine swapping too.
Update: Wow, it only took 2.5 hours. Well, it was a lot closer to 3 if you count ./configure time too.

screen isn't the answer.
LOTS OF ILLICIT DRUGS IS.
(and, if you don't know what screen is by reading that, you're too young.)
Ah, sounds like me compiling linux on my 386-16 with 8mb of ram... my first "second machine" back in the days I had a blazing fast 486-dx4-100 as my main system :)
And it had only one CPU. And it swapped. And it took about a day to compile the kernel.
Memories of compiling XFree on a 486 DX2/66. For days.
You know that would probably run a lot faster if you ran NetBSD on it instead of the bloaty Slowaris thing...
