So far there's just one recipe that I can test, json-glib, which is 
fairly small, and so there's not a lot of difference between 
compile+install steps. configure however is vastly faster:

autotools with gtk-doc

configure 16.53
compile 12.56
install 1.94
total 31.03

meson with gtk-doc

configure 2.04
compile 4.87
install 9.16
total 16.07

autotools without gtk-doc
configure 16.26
compile 5.49
install 1.59
total 23.34

meson without gtk-doc
configure 1.95
compile 5.04
install 2.26
total 9.25
