I've heard rumours of some jobs taking longer than on an arm710... 

did you try compiling with the -pipe option, this pipes the output of the
c compiler straight into the assembler, rather than onto disk, and then
running the assembler on that file.  I think it might speed things up (if
you've got the free memory...)
