About SBUs" but I would just add that it is worth doing as it has potential to greatly speed things up. You can try the SBU build time with different values for '-j'/'--jobs'; a value of the number of CPUs you have should be good value. If you just do a plain '-j' without a number then GNU make will do an unlimited number of parallel jobs; which, while interesting to watch, will probably be slower than a value of the number of CPUs on the host. If you do have a problem with building a package then try dropping the parallel make jobs for it.
