Do you have a bunch of spare cores in your CPU? I tend to increase the number of jobs to run in parallel based on the number of CPU's and cores I have. Eg.

make -j 4 bzImage

This should speed things along a tad assuming you have a quad core machine, though you can vary the number up or down depending.
