The moral of the story is that emulated systems are pretty odd. Some stuff is lightning fast, but other stuff can be slower (AGA emulation in particular).
Try playing an AGA game that is also CPU intensive on a real amiga to see what I mean. I found the AGA version of AB3D 2 brings many a PC running UAE to it's knees (the ultra unstable RTG version absolutely flies at a ludicrous framerate, however. For about 10 seconds before crashing, that is).
There simly is no magic formula to compare the speed of an emulated system to a real one as you are discovering.
Compilation is, as you know, a very processor/memory/io intensive process. For a totally emulated system, 10x faster than a 50MHz 030 isnt too terrible - it's on a par with a decent 68060.
Actually thinking about it, I use UAE for compiling some stuff here. I have a pretty old PC built from spares and donations :-) It's an AMD K6-II 500MHz (100MHz FSB).
Some stuff that takes my 040 half an hour to compile (with all the optimisations) compiles in about 5-10 minutes using UAE. Perhaps your UAE settings aren't fully fine tuned :-?
