large performance improvement 1.7.5 -> 1.7.16

Hello, Recently upgraded from 1.7.5 to 1.7.16. Just noticed that a large compile is running 35% faster with the new version--an impressive jump. Curious if anyone knows what change(s) might have done that. The compile runs over a CIFS share to Samba server 3.6.4 on CentOS 5.8. Physical transpor
