FTR, my Windows machine has 16GB of ram, 4 physical cores, and both SS and spinning disks. A debug clobber build takes 34 minutes on the spinning disk and 31 on the SSD - so the wins of an SSD on my box aren't quite as large as I was expecting (I suspect the cores and 16GB of ram is the most important for me, or maybe it's just that my 12 month old Intel SSD isn't state-of-the-art anymore)
That's also my experience, with enough RAM an SSD doesn't seem to buy you that much time when doing a build. Still it's a fundamental addition if you ever need to search or grep through the code (which I do a lot) and when working with the version history.
