Yes, I've tested that too. It seems that disk I/O is not much of a bottleneck when building. The bottleneck is the CPU speed and the number of cores (assuming you don't get into swap).
The CPU architecture is also a factor. Later CPUs have more registers and instructions where the compiler can take advantage and speed some things up.
