I suppose it depends on the toolchain, but in my experience build time is mostly dominated by disk I/O nowadays. Even with my code stored on an SSD.

With C++ it is in my experience solidly CPU-bound, for example on 12 xeon cores, or 24 hyperthreading threads, and one 7200 RPM disk.

For any compiling work I need to do, I usually offload to my Linode install with 4 Xeons. Your mileage may vary, though.
