I wonder how long it takes to build, and how quickly it builds executables, compared to the new stuff.

All of that is very dependent on the compiler used to compile it. Using a modern gcc with -march=native will probably have it be somewhere near tcc for performance, at least when I tried it a few years ago. If you compile it with itself maybe much worse? Also this would change based on your processor and so on.
