I try to build a lib based on about 300 source files.
OS: Ubuntu 10.04 based on Oracle VM VirtualBox. 
CMKAE: V 2.8.3 

I use NFS,  files share between WinXP and VM VirtualBox, but I don't think it 
is root cause here, since if only using native Linux Ext3, the same, very slow 
to scan dependency. 

Now I use make mylib/fast to go on, otherwise it will block undergoing process. 

My question: which factors will cause it so low?

a) Bad design, header files dependency so much. 
b) CMake  INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, too many include? 
d) ...

Thanks for your help.
