Since he never indicated what type of building... just about anything
would do. But if, for example, he was building a complete Linux distro
then, most certainly very hefty memory (4-16GB) and processor speed
(2-3GHZ quad core) would greatly reduce build time. But if it is for
some 20-30000 line application - well what difference would 2 minutes
or 3 minutes (or maybe seconds) make (unless he was building, re-
building, and rebuilding multiple times a day (in which case he should
rethink/fix the problem as to the multiple builds daily)
