How long does it take you to compile wine?

http://techgage.com/article/intel_core_2_duo_e7200_-_the_new_budget_superstar/11
has some recent wine build benchmarks:

Time to build wine-0.9.59:
quad core, -j 5:
QX9770: 182s
QX9650: 193s
QX6850: 200s
Q9450: 216s
Q6600: 251s

dual core, -j3:
e8400: 363s
e7200: 437s
e6750: 422s
e6600: 472s

Golly.  Maybe I should have gotten a quad core :-)

BTW, I just compared the e7200 and e8400 on the 'valgrind wine test
suite with -j2' task.
Results: e8400 is 18% faster (83 minutes vs. 99 minutes).
I'd love to try this on a quad core... maybe I'll find one at work and
give it a shot.
