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.
Oh, and I forgot to mention the other main data-point on this. When our build was switched from the separate libs build to one monolithic build-and-link, the times for me to do a build after editing a single file grew significantly, moving from seconds to several minutes. This was on OS X, and I have seen performance differ based on the OS.
So we definitely would need to measure things on different platforms and for different use cases (full build vs. developer tweak-and-build, etc.)
