Except it's not just bootstrapping GCC. It's everything. When the NetBSD Project switched from 2.95.3 to 3.3, we had a noticeably increase in time to do the "daily" builds because the 3.3 compiler was so much slower at compiling the same OS source code. And we're talking almost entirely C code, here.
