Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see the relevance of this, even if it were true that C compilation is only a small fraction of the build. There's nothing to prevent a parallel build from compiling 2 Lisp files at the same time, is there? > Most of the time is spent inside emacs byte-compiling Lisp files, Btw, byte compilation is only relevant to bootstrapping. A normal build of an Emacs tarball spends mots of its time in C compilation, I think. Don't you agree?
