Ughh.

Still - the point I was trying to make is that the unpack with your
setup just hits one core and nobody is actually waiting in that
seemingly half-empty timespan in the log. So the build would save ~10s,
if you can cut this time in half. While firebird and nss really are much
slower, due to the non-parallel make.

My impression is that general IO operation in Cygwin is slow. We already
know the Win32 make is much faster. Same is documented for git-win in
the wiki for "git status" (native at least a magnitude faster then
Cygwin git -
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnWindows#Cygwin_and_git).

No idea if native unpack tools could help here and if that is the real
problem, just as for make and seemingly git.
