Me too. On MacOS. Since 1.1.39, Makefiles are created at the rate of ~ 1 per sec. It was much faster in 1.1.38 and before, I estimate ~6 files per second.
I think the point is that now most makefiles can be built in parallel with parallel make. So then it really depends how many cores you have of course.
It does have weird side-effects. Like make distclean creating new makefiles and thus running 'make depend'!
