In discussions with Hans, it is said that I/O is not a factor, since after

Disk throughput doesn't really matter. Reading directory contents, getting file
information and opening/closing files is another matter.
My exeperience seems to confirm this.
I ran the same tests with Lazarus install on a NAS.
As the connection was 2xGigabit (port-trunked), read/write speeds were
higher than my local HHD.
Yet, rebuild times doubled.
It seems latency plays a more significant role than thoughput.
