Thanks for the reminder to do an analysis and gather detailed metrics before haphazardly changing things.

I would tend to think that it's an I/O bottleneck, because a slower rx2620 with user files on a dual-channel external 8GB FC RAID array could execute this build in 45 minutes, but I will check. I copied the username from the default SYSTEM account (HPE OpenVMS 8.4 U7) after setting up the system, so it should have fairly decent working set sizes - but again, I'll check.

It could just be that I need to fix the write cache on the RAID controller by getting new batteries to get the I/O speed back up.
