What you should look at is CPU load during compile which should be
100%. A lower figure indicates that the system is waiting for I/O,
which can be caused by a diskcache that is too small, disabled
lazy-write caching, or swapping due to insufficient memory.
When CPU-load is straight 100% you know you can't do much better.
In that case the difference of 10% seems high to me for compilation.
(Binding and linking is another story, the binder is I/O bound and
the linker is system-dependent.)

Geert
