as an example, in a few cases recently it has been filesystem
operations e.g. pwd, that has caused Boost.Build to sit there spinning
its thumbs, the CVS version has some big improvements over the
bjam/Boost.Build in 1.33. However reducing the dependancies/number of
compile/link operations will no doubt also help, the proportions may
now be different.
