Can I suggest you compare the two and take the longest build. The
different arches are built in parallel so adding them both together
isn't really a good reflection of the build time. Also I suggest
discarding anything built by a guru or smarttop as again they're not a
reflection of what the ultimate HW will be for building.

Yep, hence the suggestion to discard the other ones and maybe take the
other build time for the said package.

The above said it's looking good and we're getting there. We're
certainly not an extra month behind mainline.
