In fact, about twice as long.... A cursory examination show that the two aren't even remotely similar in a lot of cases. Take the misc filesystems section for example.. (edited for brevity) 2.4 # Miscellaneous filesystems # # CONFIG_ADFS_FS is not set # CONFIG_AFFS_FS is not set # CONFIG_HFS_FS is not set # CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS is not set # CONFIG_BEFS_FS is not set # CONFIG_BFS_FS is not set CONFIG_EFS_FS=m CONFIG_HPFS_FS=m CONFIG_SYSV_FS=m CONFIG_UFS_FS=m 2.6 # Miscellaneous filesystems # CONFIG_AFFS_FS=m CONFIG_HFS_FS=m CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS=m CONFIG_BEFS_FS=m CONFIG_BFS_FS=m CONFIG_EFS_FS=m CONFIG_JFFS2_FS=m CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_NAND=y CONFIG_JFFS2_ZLIB=y CONFIG_JFFS2_RTIME=y CONFIG_CRAMFS=m CONFIG_VXFS_FS=m CONFIG_QNX4FS_FS=m CONFIG_SYSV_FS=m CONFIG_UFS_FS=m And you wonder why 2.6 is taking longer ? There are many more cases like this in your configs.. Unless you're comparing apples to apples, this is just nonsense.
