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)

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
