Two compilations were conducted separately, and compared to the 
unmodified compilation,
the compilation time for adding modified patches had a certain 
reduction, as follows:

Compilation command:
make distclean -j8
make ARCH=x86_64 x86_64_defconfig
time make -j8

1.Unmodified Compilation time:
real    2m40.276s
user    16m2.956s
sys     2m14.738s

real    2m40.136s
user    16m2.617s
sys     2m14.722s

2.[Patch v2 1/2] Modified Compilation time:
real    2m40.067s
user    16m3.164s
sys     2m14.211s

real    2m40.123s

sys     2m14.508s

3 [Patch v2 1/2] + [Patch v2 2/2] Modified Compilation time:
