I am back to gbuild, have moved my Windows VM's disk to the faster ext3 filesystem, and have begun doing the only thing I can think of to debug this: manually "bisection testing" the gbuild-reintegration branch to try isolate which patch causes the build performance regression.
There is 136 patches ported from the branches/gbuild branch that have been merged in batches to branches/gbuild-reintegration. Patch 129 builds in 341 minutes. Patch 43 builds in 335 minutes. So it must be one of the 42 most recent patches. Currently compiling patch 16.
