Linux From Scratch says that the estimated compilation time is 55 SBU [1]
which can be more than one day in slow boxes.

The installed version is old. The options to solve the really long building
time are: using the buildbot to get pre-compiled dependencies (similar to
binary snapshots, but only for non-sugar components) or building on Fedora
19 which has already packaged Webkit2.

I like both.

Cheers,
