[CMake] FYI - From Ninja-build mailing list - Fwd: Proposal: restat rules

[Bill Hoffman]

I just tried this on a machine here.

"svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/work/kst/portto4/kst"

CMake build:
make -j8

real    3m19.131s
user    16m31.866s
sys     3m25.289s

Qmake build:
real    2m55.761s
user    15m15.585s
sys     1m58.203s
mp/../viewitem.h:92: warning: unused parameter 'f'

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL

So, for me the qmake build had a total failure after almost taking as 
long to build.  So, CMake wins because the qmake build never actually 
finishes... :)

BTW, This is an 8 core machine.  What are you building on to get .5 
minute builds?  Something is odd here...
