Yeah, it can definitely be faster. I limit how many cores portage can use, and I’m always watching Twitch or doing something else with the PC while it compiles. Plus, this is on a laptop.
Those are 10 threads, so about 5 cores. The CPU governor is set to ‘powersave’, which lowers the clock speed. I try save the other 3 cores for Firefox, etc.
Mine take 30 minutes. I usually do it when I’m not using the machine

Modify niceness of portage.
I’ve been using the MAKEOPTS flag in my make.conf
It’s using 10 out of 16 threads, and can compile up to 123 packages simultaneously
1 hr compile time over 10 threads? Somethings off, and you said you’re on laptop.
