"mingw32-make [-j4] compile" takes:
  - With revno 111165 (before your changes in `lisp/makefile.w32-in'):
    . without "-jN": 15:57
    . with -j4: 15:34
  - With revno 111175:
    . without "-jN": 16:21
    . with -j4: 6:23


A full bootstrap with "-j4" (of the last trunk) has taken 13:53.

So it seems that I've got an speedup of 50% approximately.  (Not bad!)

And for the record, from a MSYS bash:

  $ time /c/emacs/trunk/bin/emacs --batch --eval '(message "Hello")'
  Hello

  real    0m1.189s
  user    0m0.031s
  sys     0m0.000s
