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.

You should not expect to see a significant compile time reduction for extremely small designs. The compile time gains are widespread: synthesis, timing analysis, place and route...but, the compile time reduction in Quartus II 8.0 is not universal. That is, 8.0 does not see significant speedup of the "overhead" operations needed to run the place & route engine.
