     mingw is g++ 3.4.5
     Gentoo is probably g++ >= 4.2.x

The g++ 4.x series features a lot of performance 
improvements in compile time.

Also, mingw32-make has to do some POSIX-compatability 
stuff... which often runs slow on windows.  (E.g. 
`find` runs extremely slow on Windows.)

It looks like they have a "testing" release of mingw gcc 
4.5... so you might try that out.  Though, you would be 
venturing out into beta-tester territory.  :-)
