Best Computer for Quartus Compile Times...

Has anyone done any benchmarking of compile times with different computer configurations? My main question is how much will it improve my compile times if I add additional processors to my system. ...

8.0 significantly reduced compile times on my core 2 duo system. Reduced compile time to approx. half that of 7.1

I wonder if I have to have a full license to feel this effect, or maybe a project that uses something specific? I just upgraded to 8.0sp1 (WE) on my core duo laptop and compared compile times for a simple 1-minute build time project and I couldn't feel any difference at all.

I also noticed that "max number of CPUs" is now disabled in the settings.
