Something is indeed up with your machine i would say. Compilation times in my vm compare very favourable to those in the host machine, running 10.10.

Since I tend to need +universal or some other variant, I need to compile most ports instead of just getting the binaries. Also I'm not using that many ports, Gimp is the one with the biggest dependencies...
