Those times are for the full timestamp, dependency and integrity checking. phase4 does not build. Actual kernel build time depends on what has changed, what needs to be rebuilt and whether you are compressing the kernel.

For phase1 through phase4, no difference, the startup code is almost entirely sequential and uses one cpu. After phase4 and into the compile steps, more processors are better.
