I get about 6min with "make -j2 bootstrap" on a Thinkpad T61, which is
an older machine (T9300 core 2 duo at 2.5GHz), so 30min sounds very
slow, even for sequential compilation.

IIRC the Windows bootstrap code is not as well tuned, and byte-compiles
all the .el files with the "bootstrap-emacs" instead of only compiling
the preloaded files this way.  That might explain it (the
"bootstrap-emacs" is an emacs binary built with the non-compiled Elisp
files, so its Elisp functions are slower).
