Emerge times

To demystify the notion that it still takes hours to compile something in Gentoo, I leave here the times of the packages that take the most time on my machine.

Environment

# Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8600K CPU @ 3.60GHz
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=native"
MAKEOPTS="-j7"
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs=1 --quiet-build"

Using gcc 10.2.0, and the times are calculated with the script mergetime, which only accounts for the real compile times given by the log, and not for time spent by the package manager in other tasks like downloading and extracting archives.
