We've had some fixes into master which:

* improve the pseudo-native build time (worth 2 minutes)
* shorten the rpm rootfs creation times
* enabling parallel builds for some packages
* Improve the task processing/creation latency (worth 1-2 minutes)

The time for the same build as above is now taking:

real	97m1.204s
user	385m24.460s
sys	48m30.990s
(4848 tasks)

and this is despite adding in some extra documentation generation pieces
too (which accounts for the extra user time) so quite a nice
improvement. Nice work but I think there is further low hanging fruit to
gain a little more time back too! :)

Cheers,

Richard
