It is, but not time(1) data, just wall clock computed from subtracting
mtimes of my make check output log and make -j48 bootstrap log.

Note, the box used was oldish AMD 16-core, no ht, box, haven't tried it on
anything
more parallel, also it was normal hard disk, etc. No idea whether anything
from this is relevant to that though.
Some CPU time goes into the expect processes, I can retry the build tonight
and grab also time(1) info from make -k check to see the user/sys times for
serial testing.
