Again, the total time taken is irrelevant. The SSD certainly would help
the system to slow down less when there's a lot of swapping. But unless
you timed the longest pause between output lines, this doesn't tell us
what we need to know.

It shouldn't matter whether they go to stdout or stderr. The builds are
actually timing out while writing out the C files, or sometimes when
doing the final link.
