Bottom line, in both your 2nd and 3rd set of attempts, at least 2 out of the 3 compiles were faster than the (1st) baseline times. So my statement about it will take less time because there are less bytes to process holds true. :-) I never said by how much faster though. ;-) To get more accurate results one would have to reduce the test to only parsing source code, and exclude things like deleting PPU files, compiling and binary linking. An exercise for a rainy Sunday afternoon. :) I was impressed by how much disk space the source code reduced by. That's 3.7MB [minimum] less bytes to parse and scan.
