Hmm, I didn't start out with comparisions as I was testing it for the
first time. I'll conduct another test (more carefully, this time) with
newest systemd from Rawhide and see how it fares. (Also, will try with a
libvirt-lxc and report how it goes.)

I don't have a proxy/cache (should really make one!). However the Fedora
mirror is on the same network of the machine where I the test on.

No, it's done in my home dir -- ~/kashyapc/src/libguestfs. First one is
in /src/test-container

Yeah, trying to report benchmarks is always tricky.
Answering drago01's questions from the other email:
- Order: first I ran the compile test via nspawn container; next, run
the same test on the in my home dir (on the host)
- No, I didn't reboot in between
- Haven't cleared caches (I presume you meant to free the pagecache
