I tried it:
2.2.10-VM9
make dep: 31.25user 3.62system 1:00.32elapsed 57%CPU make dep (second time): 32.11user 3.44system 1:03.14elapsed 56%CPU make bzImage: 484.68user 30.97system 8:46.40elapsed 97%CPU
2.3.8
make dep: 31.04user 3.73system 1:06.47elapsed 52%CPU make dep (second time): 32.12user 3.38system 0:43.90elapsed 80%CPU make bzImage: 484.01user 32.10system 8:49.51elapsed 97%CPU
2.3.7-andrea1:
make dep: 31.37user 3.54system 1:00.25elapsed 57%CPU make dep (second time): 31.95user 3.70system 1:02.69elapsed 56%CPU make bzImage: 485.56user 33.05system 8:48.07elapsed 98%CPU
I cannot tell you what caused the differences between this and yesterday's figures. I did both testings twice. Only the kernels I compiled differed. 2.3.7-andrea1 for the previous one and 2.3.8 for this one but that should not cause this.
The interesting things in this were the second "make dep" times. 2.3.8 did it in 30% less time. I did the timings this way for both the yesterday's and today's figures:
<reboot> make mrproper <copy a saved config file to the source tree> make oldconfig sync ; sync ; time make dep sync ; sync ; time make dep sync ; sync ; time make bzImage
