A bit more than couple of seconds, but it does make a difference for a
delta build:
with patch:
real    0m9.405s
user    0m6.966s
sys     0m2.287s

without:
real    0m12.153s
user    0m9.058s
sys     0m3.026s

with -j48 on s390 24 cores lpar:
with patch:
real    0m1.949s
user    0m7.034s
sys     0m2.400s

without:
real    0m2.255s
user    0m9.243s
sys     0m3.266s
