I had already built it once before running the first test then updated
and I think one additional package was downloaded over a 100 MBps line
so it affects a little, but not too much.

I think the conclusion:
     Increasing the CPU speed by 30% and the memory frequency by 20%
     gives 10-15% faster build time is OK.
