I'd bet that this has nothing to do with the Rb IDE being written in Rb. I suspect any speed loss might be attributable to the fact that almost all object methods became virtual in Rb

4x speed loss in compile speed is pretty substantial no matter what the cause. I'm not sure virtual function calls are worth that big a price, if that's the actual cause.

Never checked the performance of virtuals against non-virtuals, but I
wonder, if virtuals might have such a big impact.

Moreover: As Norman pointed out, the Compiler is still C++ Code. Thus,
I wonder even more, why compile times got that slow.

Perhaps there is now more overhead in preparing the source code for compilation. Guess early and often; that's my plan.
