[BioC] Running time for make.cdf.package

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

Why don't you tell us the size of the chip, ie. number of probes and  
number of probesets. You might even want to reveal the actual name  
(!). Since it is human, I guess it is pretty big. Your main problem is  
probably memory or a faulty file. In general, making a CDF package is  
pretty quick. I would be shocked if it took more than 1 hour on a  
suitable computer.

Do you get any output, since you are running with verbose = TRUE.
