Just to make sure, you are not using a network drive to build on, are you?
For me, doing that in Windows NT (using NFS or clearcase MVFS network
filesystems) makes builds run a factor of 10-50 slower, even though they are
fast as ever under Linux or FreeBSD on the same physical box. I chalk it up
to poor network code in Microsoft OS.
