Yes, in a virtual machine, it is very slow. On a machine such as an i7,
it should be relatively quick, it really depends on the number of
packages you enabled.

The thing I'm doing to greatly speed up the compilation process is to
generate a toolchain once for all, and then instruct Buildroot to use
it as an external toolchain. It saves the time of producing the
toolchain, which is quite significant.

Thanks, I'll have a look into it.
