I think there's a subconscious impression that it takes a while because there's a phase in the build that takes a noticeable amount of time and that's all the output you see. If in fact that delay is 10% running SLICC and 90% scons doing other stuff silently then I agree it's not such a big deal. One psychological solution would be to reduce the amount of output from SLICC, making it a less obvious target for annoyance when you're waiting for a build...
