My new AMD a8-3850 takes 77 seconds to run wine's configure script.
It might be related to frequency scaling. I have a Phenom II X4 945 and configure runs in 29 seconds, but only when using the performance governor. When using the default ondemand governor it runs in 59 seconds, similar to what Austin got.
Good call! After doing for cpu in `seq 0 3` do; sudo cpufreq-set -g performance -c $cpu; done the a8-3850 runs configure in 37 seconds!
It would be interesting to know how the i7 fares when using the performance governor.
On the i7, after doing "./configure" once to warm up, ondemand gives 31 seconds, performance gives 23 seconds. So it's not AMD-specific. 'conservative' gives 26 seconds, halfway between the two.
