I'll try adding an option that leaves out the devices since I assume that's where the extra time is coming from. I'm thinking if you set NO_DEVICES on the scons command line it will leave the devices out of the build. That won't be set by default on anything since the same build is used for both SE and FS and it doesn't make sense as a default, but if you're using it for SE style stuff and build time is affected enough for you to find out about that option, then it'll be available. There may be complications so no promises. It may also not close recover the build time, but I expect it will.
