...or the other suggestions at http://www.scons.org/wiki/GoFastButton

I'm guessing that many folks who have "SCONS IS SLOW" problems can fix them using some of the above... SCons defaults to "correct build over any other priority" mode, but the above tweaks are really pretty safe and can speed things up quite a bit (using timestamp-based deciders probably works fine for most people--it's what make does--but the default behaviour is MD5 because it's more careful).
