This is a surprise. You're right that execution time on Linux is slower than the average recursive make build system, which is not fast very fast to start with. I never pay much attention to it, maybe because I typically only build a single dir or executable when doing frequent recompiles. But otherwise cmake fares quite alright in my book: out of the box support for pkg-config, cross compiliation, easy to automate. I've been using it successfully in many projects. Is there any build system you particularly recommend?
