Is there any way you can break that into 10 projects with 1k files each, or 20 projects with 500 files each, etc? I have found dramatic improvements in (Java compiling) speed as a result of breaking huge projects like this into a series of much smaller projects with dependencies between the projects etc as needed. Having said that, 20 seconds for 4k files sounds pretty quick! Sorry but I'm not sure how to explain the 20 sec vs 90 sec results you're experiencing. I'd check versions of everything and flags sent to compilers etc via -X.
