My most recent log says it takes 121 SBU with all tests at -j4.  On my system with 
the current tool chain, the SBU time is 110 seconds, so that is a little under 4 hours.

To see more detail check out, for instance, 
https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/build-logs/12.0-rc1/AMD3900X/r11.3-207+-SBU_DU-2023-08-13.report. 
There are several other systems with similar reports in the parent directory.
