SubjectRe: source dependencies cleanup?

I'll just add one data point to the discussion for the present, and
leave the rest for later.

I just did a "make dep" (using mkdep) on this 133MHz Pentium with
16M Ram (running X, blah, blah .. well, a lot). It took just over a minute.
Actually 26s of user + system time at 33% usage.

% time make dep
[snip]
16.290u 7.480s 1:12.44 32.8% 0+0k 0+0io 25540pf+0w

I am not going to do a kernel compile right now, but from experience I
know that a new make zImage over an already compiled kernel after a
change of configuration takes 25mins+ a bit on this machine in the same
operating mode as I am in now. A full compile after make clean takes
40mins, I think I recall.

That is a bit below your 5-10%, but not way below. I am estimating
2-4%.
