On a Mac, speed increase from a Core2Duo to a Corei5 is really noticeable,

Some day soon my still reliable but not very fast 10 year old laptop will
have to be replaced by a more modern machine.
Will Lilypond benifit much if my next computer will have one of those
modern multi-core processors like the Intel i3/5/7 ?
I'm just curious.

Mainly for my own curiosity, I compiled the Reubke Sonata score to check
timing:
WinXP SP3 32-bit, LP 2.13.3, LPT 2.12.869, on Intel C2D E9600 (2.8GHz), 2
GB RAM
5 min 38 seconds.
A bit slower than the Linux times others got.

Hello,
I'm curious how long it takes for other people to run lilypond on the
following simple score:
\relative c' {
c4 d e fis
}
I'm on winxp sp3, pentium 1.7Ghz with 512mb ram and it consistently takes
7 seconds to complete, whether I do it on the command line or in
LilypondTool.
