Well, for the moment, Mandriva has ( for i586 ) 5 servers with 4 core at
2.8 ghz
( fast scsi disk, 2 g of ram ). So by your estimate and using similar
hardware ( which date back to 3/4 years ago ), it would take
80/(5*4*1.5) = 3 days

now, that doesn't take in account several factors, like :
- others bottleneck ( memory, i/o )
- overhead of using iurt and chroot regeneration
- overhead of uploading to the mirror
- overhead of a non linear repartition ( kde, kernel, openoffice,
sagemath, etc, take more time ).
