I've discovered that there is too small buffer size for IO in ccache: 16k
or 10k
(in hash_fd, copy_fd, copy_file).

I did simple fix and run several tests (on mac osx) trying to recompile
chromium.
(Of course there was 100% cache hit).
Results (pay your attention to sys time):

16k

I'm going to make an PR at github.
