I would like to propose a project aimed to improve ON build times. This can
live either under tools or under performance or under some other community.
There was some discussion about it a while ago in the context of Google summer
of code:

The goal is to make builds fast enough for developers to be productive. This
is, probably, going to be an open-ended project.

(FYI: Even my fastest SPARC, a Sun Blade 2000 / Dual x7017a 1056 MHz /
8GB memory / FC-AL drives, needs about 4 hours currently [for a nightly
non-debug build using Studio11 as primary compiler and using dmake] /
even if the whole workspace sits in physical mem in /tmp/foo plus when
not doing anything else)
GCC shadow compilation added noticable costs:

One may of course disable it in-house - for one or another personal
build - (Note: I'm very happy, ON can be built with gcc and I understand
that shadow compilation is a good means to keep ON gcc-clean.)
