Thanks for the pointer. Even now Make takes quite a bit of time to compute the dependencies when rebuilding. If SCons is more than 10x slower than Make as evidenced in the benchmarks, then this might become a big problem.

At a glance Waf looks promising, I'll research it some more. The speed is certainly an advantage.
