Compilation is largely an i/o-bound problem. Unless the projects you work on
are hideously
large and would benefit from parallel processing (splitting the i/o among
several processors),
your current machine is quite satisfactory.
Try this: using your current system, create a 4GB disk partition in memory.
Then make that
partition the “Derived Data” location.
You can see how here:

If you notice an improvement in stability and decreased build time, great. If
not, just keep
on building great apps.
