I just built world/kernel (stable/9 r252769) 5 hours ago.  Results:

time make -j4 buildworld  = roughly 21 minutes on my hardware
time make -j4 buildkernel = roughly 8 minutes on my hardware

These numbers are about the norm for me, meaning I do not see a
substantial increase in build times.

Key point: I do not use/build/grok clang, i.e. WITHOUT_CLANG=true is in
my src.conf.  But I am aware of the big clang change in r252723.

If hardware details are wanted, ask, but I don't think it's relevant to
what the root cause is.
