While not building a part of the base system will obviously
speed up bulidworld, it seems to me that you're being a
little too generous here.  The buildworld-speed issue is
clearly a problem with clang/llvm.  On my very lightly
loaded, 4-core opteron system with 16 GB of memory, I see

WITH_CLANG="YES"
WITH_GCC="YES"

rm -rf /usr/obj/*
time make -j4 buildworld
3634.55 real      9784.21 user      1286.08 sys

WITH_CLANG="YES"
WITHOUT_GCC="YES"

rm -rf /usr/obj/*
time make -j4 buildworld
3489.40 real      9413.90 user      1324.72 sys

WITHOUT_CLANG="YES"
WITH_GCC="YES"

rm -rf /usr/obj/*
time make -j4 buildworld
1928.38 real      5254.85 user      1075.68 sys
