I went from a 6.5 year old notebook... build times about an hour... to a 4 core (8 threads) Sandy Bridge laptop with Sata III SSD. It takes about 6.5 minutes to do a complete build. Life is good.
Thanks for all the replies, it looks like there are some definite gains to be had :) Not the least of which is to parallelize the build process. I think I'll go shopping. (BTW, Tav, what sandy bridge processor do you have?)
Make sure not to underestimate the influence of operation system & filesystem. (IIRC, NTFS is quite slow.)

automake defaults to include debug flags which made a noticeable difference when comparing with cmake early on so you could try remove -g flag if you are not debugging.
default cmake, using "make -j6" on my AMD Phenom II X6 1055T linux system does a full build in 4min, 17sec.
