I find your impression strange.

Which tools did you use to check the run time situation?

Do you suggest a software comparison with a tool like the ClearCase build 
utility?

Are there any more details to inspect?

Would you like to reconsider your conclusion once more?

Do you distinguish how many computation resources are needed by the build tool
itself in comparison what is really required for the execution of commands
from make recipes?
