I have a similarly modest system and my experience with UBUNTU 10.10 has been that the standard set of packages takes about 8 hours, maybe 6 1/2 of build and 1 1/2 of testing and document building. Anecdotal ? Yes, but 24h + to build some unknown package(s) is no surprise to me (-:
You could monitor the log(s) as this build progresses. You MIGHT see some re-curing error that is causing numerous re-tries, etc. Same comment on the scripts, they may retry without limit on (partial)failure. It might be worth editing to limit the re-tries, example Atlas gives up after 5.
