There is no reason to compile for both architectures during development. 
Since your development machine is i386, kill the -arch ppc. You can put it

back when you're ready to build for deployment and, I suppose, just suffer

through the build times in that case.

As an alternative, you can build once with -arch i386 and a second time 
with -arch ppc, then use /usr/bin/lipo to stitch the two binaries 
together.
