Magic running until the end of time

I have GentooX Home Version 3.0c and yes, it's been awhile since I last ran Magic over my perfectly fast as all get-out DSL Internet connection. Maybe several dozen weeks since I ran Magic.
Having debated just replacing my perfectly good Xbox F drive install of GentooX with new version 3.1 (how I hate to be behind) and starting from scratch-- and remembering all the hoops I had to jump through getting my Xerox LAN printer to work with GentooX-- I made the to run Magic.
That was like 30 hours ago. It's running, and compiling, and merging, and compiling, and compiling. Is this normal???
To make me wonder just what the hell is going on, this pig is on step 7 of 34! After 30 hours?
I saw an interview where ShallaX, god bless his heart, said that we should think of Magic as though it were like Windows Update. Well, ShallaX, Magic is no Windows Update!
