Nice compile times, and thank you for destroying my illusions that
my Core2Duo notebook performs quite decently. :(

The difference is alarmingly huge. I wonder whether the memory disk
actually hurts performance. I will have to test this.

I normally use ccache, and am used to a lot faster buildkernels and
buildworlds, but I turned this off for the performance tests. So
this didn't alarm me until I saw your measurements.
