Thanks for the information.

I tried this on my machine (32-way Xeon E5-2665 0 @ 2.40GHz), but it 
still takes one minute if I change a single file in java.base :-(

The making of java.base alone took about 30 seconds.

$ time sh -c 'make JOBS=29 java.base && make images-only'

Is there any way to make this faster?

I used to have a script that compiles the exact set of .java files that 
I touched, and patch rt.jar. It would complete the build in a second or 
so. I guess I could update the script to work with modules and jimage, 
but would be happier if I didn't have to.

Thanks
