Slow compile times on master

Slow compile times on master

Hi All,
  I thought I'd see how things are looking on master (great to see work is
still progressing toward 2.2). I just wanted to check that the compile
times I've been seeing are to be expected. My (pretty weedy) laptop took
over a day to build one it hit building the scms. guile-snmp took a good
minute or so to build the code for the shell (it's really pretty tiny).
  Is this expected at the minute? or more likely to be a problem with
cacheing.
  Anyway, thanks all for the great work on guile. guile-snmp pulls off some
pretty gnarly tricks with dynamic symbol lookup and it's all kept on
working since 1.8 without breaking,which is pretty darned cool.

Hi,

I've been tracking master for a while and I've also observed the same slowdown, the odd file that compiled in < 1s now taking 20, 30s. It's happened in the last couple of months.
