I think the technician at Sun who assembled my Sun must have thought it a bit
odd. I ordered it with a 3.33 GHz quad core Xeon CPU (over £1000 at the time),

Actually, no. I have 2x2TB(7200rpm) drives and 24GB of ram. After all, these
new processors like about 1GB/thread, right?
But, you've shamed me.

I actually have only the standard (7200 rpm) drive, no SSD.

Your storage might be slow, too, but I guess you got a reasonable SSD with
your system so that shouldn't be a concern.
Though I'm not surprised that a significant fraction of the build time is
spent in various (single-threaded) configure scripts. If I exclude ATLAS, I
can build Sage in about 30

I agree that the number of make -jN threads should be a good deal larger
than the number of physical cores. Also, make sure that you set
export SAGE_PARALLEL_SPKG_BUILD=yes
or you'll see mostly a slow single-threaded configure followed by a
lightning-fast compile phase. This should be really th
