Just tried that command (wanted to give rebellion a bit of a go anyway) on my dual-core 4GB laptop with an SSD:

real 5m18,721s; user 6m22,607s; sys 0m20,515s

So, given that the SSD seems to make a difference, and looking at the build output, and that my CPUs looked rather bored, I'm wondering if it's the local documentation builds.

Have you tried `raco pkg install --no-docs rebellion` for comparison? That completes in around 44 seconds on my system.

Not sure about good solutions though, I only use racket for prototyping at the moment.

Indeed that brings the command down to about 1m30s of real time. Excellent advice!
