Very long compile times on Windows had been discussed occasionally. The 
issue *there* had been related to the font cache. I think in general the 
issue is limited to the *first* compilation of a new version while IIRC 
there were LilyPond versions that incorrectly built that cache for each 
compilation.

So (as others have already said) we need more information about your system.
