There are a lot more factors that could come into play here; degrading
hardware, worse kernel, fragmentation and usage of a disk, newer
compiler, newer libraries used by the compiler and build tools, the
list can go on for a while ...

I ... eh ... have no clue where to get started; so, I suggest you try
to improve performance (using simply tips & tricks or so) as well as
try to bisect whether an older version of something improves the
situation to maybe find the cause. Other than that, word of warning,
you might end up spending more time than the compiles cost you, so,
maybe a reinstall after all is a good idea to start fresh?

If it still is broken after a clean reinstall ... it is hardware.
