This is more of a curiosity than anything else, but the thing is that I upgraded my computer recently from a Phenom II 965 to a Ryzen 7 1700, which has a bit more processing power, however I noticed that the compilation times are more or less the same. How does this work?

Compilation time vs computer hardware

I suspect that hard disk performance has more influence than raw processor power.

I also changed from sata HDD to pci-e SSD, approximately 20x faster r/w.
