More build times

The last week, my build machine has been running a whole bunch of
builds, and here's a chart for the last few months:


[-- Attachment #2: Type: image/png, Size: 70049 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 43 bytes --]


What's odd are those peaks.  Let's zoom:


[-- Attachment #4: Type: image/png, Size: 64132 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #5: Type: text/plain, Size: 89 bytes --]


Some builds consistently take 40s longer to run.  And here's what's even
more bizarre:


[-- Attachment #6: Type: image/png, Size: 68965 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #7: Type: text/plain, Size: 1190 bytes --]


Those exact same builds take a lot less CPU to run.  So...  less CPU
usage; more real time?  It's bizarre, and perhaps it's just a measuring
artefact of some kind?

Anybody see the same phenomenon on their systems?  (These are clean
builds -- made from a fresh git clone.)

Here's the data in CSV form:
