Today I measured it on a new computer (with a spiffy new Intel dual core e7200 processor with 2GB of RAM, http://kegel.com/new-computer-2008.html ).
Result: ... it takes me a bit longer today on this machine (11 minutes) to build as it did then on a dual cpu hot rod (8 minutes). I guess Moore's Law isn't quite keeping up with Wine's code growth :-)
What are your arguments to make?
Details are on buried that page, but it's "-j3" for the dual core / dual CPU systems.
I found a nice graph of Wine's codebase size over time: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/wine/analyses/latest Looks like it's just about exactly doubled since that last measurement in late 2002.
I suppose my e7200 is a budget performance system; a dual Xeon back then was pretty special. Probably have to compare it to something heftier today? - Dan
