    Even on a somewhat idle machine with multiple gigabytes of high-bandwidth
    memory, you're only going to be shaving a couple of minutes. Buildworld
    times are strongly affected by the underlying storage's seek time and
    write latency.

    Unless you're running bonnie++ for the second benchmark, these numbers
    are likely to not be from the same machine. Wanna rerun the test?
