Maybe the autobuilder has some useful statistics (http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org:8010/)? Of course, you'll have to be careful to determine whether anything else was running at the time of the build. On a related note, I have been wondering whether I would get the bang for the buck with an SSD for my build machines. I would guess that building embedded Linux images isn't a typical use pattern for an SSD. I wonder if the long write & erase durations for FLASH technology would show its ugly face during a poky build. I would think that the embedded micro inside the SSD managing the writes might get taxed to the limit trying to slice the data. I would appreciate anyone's experience with SSDs on build machines.
