Building on a VM was noticeably slower for me as well, or more accurately,
building on bare metal was noticeably quicker for me! The GCC and auto* tests
were particularly slow.  If you've still got logs around, it may be worth 
looking
at if the slowdown is averaged over all packages, or whether there are
particular packages that are adversely affected by building on a VM.

Did you build using jhalfs?  If not, did you add '--enable-rule_generator' to
your Udev build script to enable this recently deprecated functionality?
