Carsten, from my experience I'd say this is wrong. I have the same setup, 
more or less, as a compiling machine (A3000 with 68030@25MHz) and what I see, 
is that most of the time is spend in the optimizing passes of the compiler, 
at nearly 100% cpu utilization and no disk access at all, once including and 
syntax/semantics analysis have taken place. I'd say, that including and
syntax/semantics analysis together are less than a third of total time.

The only operation which really needs lots of time is the make depend,
and even this is only ~ 20% of total time for a total kernel rebuild.
