Quartus II Compiler Speed?

I am re-compiling nios II "Full Featured" reference design for Altera C12 Ev. Kit on a Dell 2.4GHz P4 CPU. It took 40 min. with only 40% done. Is this normal? Thanks

Depends on your settings how long it'll take to compile (128k is far too low though). I can make a design that takes 20 minutes to compile clear an hour if I try to optimize the hardware to gain performance using Quartus settings (optimization isn't free).
