Is there a page somewhere that gives a rough idea of how quickly a full build

I need a faster build platform, but want to get a reasonable price /
performance balance ;-)
I'm looking at something like an i7-2700K but am not yet tied...

I haven't seen one, but it would be great to have this on the wiki where
everyone could post what they're seeing & using.
Maybe the autobuilder has some useful statistics
(http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org:8010/)? Of course, you'll have to
be careful to determine whether anything else was running at the time of
the build.
On a related note, I have been wondering whether I would get the bang
for the buck with an SSD for my build machines. I would guess that
building embedded Linux images isn't a typical use pattern for an SSD. I
wonder if the long write & erase durations for FLASH technology would
show its ugly face during a poky build. I would think that the embedded
micro inside the SSD managing the writes might get taxed to the limit
trying to slice the data. I would appreciate anyone's experience with
SSDs on build machines.
