Hence, the core of building the results is most of the time. But there's still some considerable overhead. I did notice that the result build tool is compiled every time for some reason. And it's not supposed to be :-( As for the core result building.. From eyeing it, it seems the slow part is the XML reading. And then there's git.. We could probably reduce that time by only getting selected portions of Boost (enough to build the tools).

I've now changed the script so that: (a) it only fetches the Boost subrepos needed to build the report tool, and (b) only attempt to build the report tool (instead of all the regression tools).

The times are now approximately:
