Yes.

Does a trivial C program, like ``hello world'' in hello.c, compile
significantly faster?

Also, please add -v to the gcc command line and tell which of the
compiler passes invoked by gcc takes most of the time.

Please post your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT here, it might be that
you didn't set up the disk cache in an optimal way.
