Perhaps it was Fedora 15 (and not Fedora 14) that took 4 days?  See below.

In this message:
   Fedora rawhide FTBFS status 2010-12-01 x86_64

   This is a full rebuild of all >10k packages.  Due to the RemoveSUID

A slowdown by a factor of 4 is a high price to pay for the impact of RemoveSUID.
I'd rather pay at most 30%, and not a factor of 4.
