One last data point. In the best case I've got so far (14s), time tells me: make 8.27s user 5.86s system 99% cpu 14.264 total If I'm right this means I've moved from having the vast majority of the time in user CPU time to a 60/40 split, which I guess means by now we are spending a lot of time stating files (?).
