I don't think it helps that much.

Let me give you some different numbers. The last NetBSD build I did on a
1.8Ghz Core 2 took 3 days and 2h. It was using a disk per CPU and
journaling UFS, but async mounts should give a very similiar effect.
It should be noted that the results for my other build machine (not
building for unrelated reasons) used a vmware setup for DragonFly and
was doing bulk builds in less than 4 days (one machine / core).
Something like that would cost < 1000 EUR today.
