Well, I won't complain, I just have no clue, why. :-) BTW, do you build with -j4 or something?
I was not doing that but I tried it again with -j4 and the performance increase is mind blowing. But I remember that running with more than one concurrent job eventually fails at the last steps (I don't remember where exactly) due to what seems like a job being run that depends on some other job that didn't finish yet. I will run it again at work (I also have 4 cores here, but in 2 processors with 2 cores each) and will let you known where it fails.
So I did this in Linux and the difference is really impressive (I will also try it at home under Haiku). Also, the build did go through so I guess whatever problem I had at some point, doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Note that these times include creating the image file and adding all the optional stuff to it.
