Other people can chime in about windows ssd performance, but I have an SSD
in a Mac laptop that I sometimes do builds on.  Total build time is only
marginally better than a traditional SATA drive (a few percent), but the
machine is noticeably less sluggish doing other things during a build (when
there's any disk contention happening, the faster seek time and i/o
operations per second are a definite win).  But for overall build time, I've
found that RAM and CPU cores make much more of a difference than the drive.
