Yes comparing timestamp is the way to go, but why is it so slow in cmake? I added command to set it to lazy report and it saved 1 second. So it's something else... I forgot to mention that there's a weird pause at the end after installing all files... not sure what it's doing. It looks like this part is taking the most amount of time.
