Hmm, I expected that it would take hours with your build.
Have you set a higher dbcache as I recommended in my previous reply?
Because its default setting of 450MiB isn't ideal for your machine's specs.

If you're currently using the GUI, you can set it in Settings->Options... "Size of database cache".
Or in the config file as dbcache=15259 to set to about 16GB of RAM.
