Compilation performance is not generally a problem, although anything that takes longer than 10 seconds to build when trying to fix a bug is annoying. If the software takes ages to get to the point of the problem then you'll be tearing your hair out.
When trying to debug a problem that only occurs when reading a gig of xml and inserting it into a database, I'll take all the CPU & disk performance that I can get.
