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.
Generally that is a breakdown of the application of Make and/or recursive make. The latter is usually the main time killer.
The paper "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" does a good job exploring these issues, including file system access and dependency graph generation.
