What kind of kernel did you compile, and on what kind of machine?
I compiled a 2.0.36 kernel twice on 486 machines:
One on a machine with Intel 486DX2 @ 75 MHz with 8MB RAM:
This took about 55 Minutes.
The second on a machine with Cyrix 486SX @ 66MHz with 24 MB RAM. This took
about 25 Minutes, though the kernel was a bit larger, with more networking
drivers included.
