The images I build for my actual board do use the meta-intel BSP and set 
MACHINE to "intel-corei7-64".

This massive explosion in build time for chromium coincided with me 
adding a new disk to my build machine and moving my Jenkins builds over 
to the new disk. At first I assumed the problem might be related to the 
new disk so I was performing build speed tests on both the old and new 
disks. For this I setup 2 new builds (one on each disk) and set MACHINE 
to qemux86-64 by default and had forgot about it. But you bring up a 
good point, I should be using the same MACHINE (although my Jenkins 
instance is still using the correct MACHINE as is seeing the huge 
increase in build times too).
