Build taking hours on Raspberry Pi 3

Hi there,

I'm following this guide. www dot pyimagesearch dot com/2016/04/18/install-guide-raspberry-pi-3-raspbian-jessie-opencv-3/

I am installing 3.2.0 with python3, instead of the 3.1.0 that he refers to, but the commands are the same in nature. When I reach the make -j4 part, where I'm building opencv on all 4 cores, it seems to be going far slower than it should. This article suggests it should take approximately an hour and twelve minutes to complete, however, after 2 hours, i'm still at 2%.

Has anyone else seen this recently? It's a fairly straightforward exercise, any idea what could cause this to occur? I'm happy to provide any information that you think may be missing here, I just don't exactly know what words to use to ask this particular question.

Cheers!
