CPU utilization close to 100% would pretty much rule out a disk 
bottleneck, assuming it stays at that level most of the time.  I would 
watch it closely for a while, as well as the swap stats.  I would guess 
the compiler WCPU will plummet at some point if it's taking half an hour 
to compile one file.
