I do find them interesting. ;-)  I'm also interested in seeing that
other people are using my FreeBSD ports...

Not much clues about the timing difference which is way more than I'd
expect.  My only idea is that creating a process under Windows is such
an expensive job while it is fairly lightweight under modern Unices
with their copy-on-write strategies and fast filesystem buffer caches,
so the time to create a new process is predominant here, compared to
the actual compile time.  If that's the case, the ratio should become
better if you've got some more heavy compile job (like compiling a
larger C++ source).
