AFAIK what Ton has traditionally been concerned with is little
incremental builds after one little change. Which is of course common
when developing. Used to take some 5-15secs on a G3 mac laptop IIRC :)
And much longer with SCons unless doing the quickie-thing.

So another thing to test would be doing one change in one file and
seeing how quickly cmake makefiles give a new blender after that ..
based on my experience in another cmake using project should be quite
quick.
