Here is the announcement for DOLT:

No, as you can see from the announcement, DOLT replaces libtool for the
modern systems where you can create libraries in a few steps.
Full-blown libtool works on every platform on the expense of its speed.
DOLT minimizes the build time on the modern systems and falls back to
libtool on the systems it cannot handle natively.

So I am attributing the speedup to the DOLT itself -- it is just faster
than libtool.
