Thanks for figuring that out.

I updated my build scripts so a regular production build is created:

  https://gist.github.com/gists/243072

I put the following in as comments around line 200:

  # include the following to enable a FASTDEBUG build:
  #    DEBUG_NAME=fastdebug
  # and remove the following:
  #   SKIP_FASTDEBUG_BUILD=true
  #   SKIP_DEBUG_BUILD=true

On my Mac OS X 10.6.8 system with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GM 1067 MHz DDR3 I get the following times for building mlvm and running the java/lang/invoke tests and the java/dyn/CoroutineTest test:

  HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=2   22m
  HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=4   19m
  HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=8   20m
