I got a (moderately old) Sun V20z with 2 Opteron 2.2 GHz with 7G ram.
My numbers are comparable with yours. (I don't know if they are on the
lower side for such a h/w configuration)

My box builds my ordinary .config (attached) in under 5min :

$ time make -j3
real    3m58.047s
user    4m54.574s
sys     1m24.202s
Mine is (with your configuration file, src updated with latest linus' tree,
[om@turyxsrv /home/src/linux-2.6]$  time make -j4
...snipped...
real    4m12.316s
user    5m12.600s
sys     0m37.742s

With stdout redirected, (It helps to save a minute or so )
[om@turyxsrv /home/src/linux-2.6]$ time make -j4  >>time.txt

real    3m23.504s
user    5m14.776s
sys     0m38.138s


Here are some more numbers for you to compare to your box :

allnoconfig :

$ make clean
$ make allnoconfig
$ time make -j3
real    0m54.544s
user    1m2.113s
sys     0m20.781s

[om@turyxsrv /home/src/linux-2.6]$ time make -j4 > allnoconfigtime.txt
real    0m43.399s
user    1m6.256s
sys     0m9.389s


allmodconfig :

$ make clean
$ make allmodconfig
$ time make -j3
real    28m49.748s
user    35m3.212s
sys     10m43.633s

[om@turyxsrv /home/src/linux-2.6]$ time make -j4 > allmodconfigtime.txt
real    39m59.100s
user    34m16.857s
sys     4m36.697s
This box uses a Athlon64 X2 4400+ CPU, has 2GB RAM and a single
Ultra160 SCSI disk.

[root@turyxsrv ~]# hdparm -tT /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads:   2676 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1338.79 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads:  184 MB in  3.02 seconds =  61.00 MB/sec
