I mounted part of RAM as such:
mdmfs -s 500m md /mnt
Then put WRKDIRPREFIX=/path/to/md in /etc/make.conf.
It substantially reduces compile time by about 5-10 times.
Thanx to all ur replies.

An alternative is to try using the "-pipe" flag with GCC: this
eliminates the need to use some temporary files by using a unix pipe for
IPC. Setting another flag "-j 2" will allow 2 jobs to be done at the
same time and should eliminate (by hiding) the I/O delays (this slows
down the CPU slightly because of more task switches, but even with one
job there are still lots of generated tasks).
If you combine these, you should see your compilations becoming CPU-bound.
