8-10 minutes is not that long. I've been running Gentoo for over 5
years on the same machine, so I can tell you how long it took for any
package I've ever compiled via Portage.
GTK+ 2.x takes about 40 minutes
xulrunner (which is the bulk of the Firefox compile): 1 hour.
Thunderbird: 1.5 hours
gimp: 40 minutes
glibc: 1 hour
xorg-server: 25 minutes

For me, other things take a longer forever.

KDE need not be slow if you only compile what you want. I stopped using
DE's years ago, so now I only have a few KDE apps installed that I use.
