Did you build OpenOffice.org? XFree takes a while too. Much more than glibc, gcc & the kernel.
Not using any GUI and don't have any of these on my system.
I do not see this as a waste of time when you have 30 identical machines. Also are you suggesting that P4 has no difference from a 386 except higher clock speeds (this holds true between P3 and P4 though)?> Does this mean no one is using a P4 or are they moving their binaries > between their P4 systems and 386 SX'es?

I do not understand why anything would go wrong. I am not here to try all available GCC flags. A simple march=pentium4 looks sufficient.In my experience, that might mean that there's a problem that hasn't bitten you yet.
Thanks!
