I was trying to found something else, but found this. I think it might help you
a bit, if you're not already using it. It promises something like a 5x speed
increase in the speed of a compile process!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.read the doc at the URL
2.try to install
3.try to compile severall times!



Expected Results:  
more than 5 time speed increase in the compile process the second (or more) time.

I don't know what you're using in tinderbox. But ccache uses gcc as compiler, so
it may be usefull for you.

 There is at least one tinderbox and several developers already using ccache. 
There is nothing needed to be done to mozilla to support ccache.
