indeed more accurate number is 25 minutes and 16 seconds (I compared
timestamps). The machine is the MNT Reform open hardware laptop with a Bana=
na
Pi CM4 A311D. So yes, the CPU is slow. It has six cores but it seems like o=
nly
one of them was used for the whole operation. On top of that, the system was
running from an SD-card so the I/O is very slow as well (20 MB/s R/W but I
think the operation is CPU bound).  And on top of that this was a fresh
installation of texlive-all, so nearly 10 GB of packages got installed all =
in a
single "apt install".

Thanks!

cheers, josch
