These threads have some hard data: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/poky/2011-July/006802.html https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2012-April/008293.html Some of which is summarized here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Build_Performance Other people may have pointers to more data or summaries..
