Time to train a cascaded classifier?

I have about 600 positive images and 200 negative images from which I need to train a cascaded GentleBoost classifier (using very simple decision stumps as weak classifiers). About 2 thirds of all my images are 60x60, but the big ones are 480 x 320.

I'm going to need to train approximately 500 different classifiers and if possible would like to be doing parallel training.

I haven't started the training yet but I'm really worried as to how much time it might take, should I go for another implementation (like in MatLab)?

I'm on a workstation with 16GB RAM.

Help!
