I use -j6 [1] for buildworld/kernel steps on stable/13 and highest temp seen has 
been 72 degC at 25 ambient [2], when it's compiling clang and friends. Not measured
timings but it's less than a day. I'll have to try the .clang flags
you've posted elsewhere. What I do have, which cuts down compile time,
is a load of WITHOUT_SOMETHING= statements in /etc/src.conf covering stuff that'll
never be used in this particular context.

[1] still has enough horsepower to run eg mutt+vim and a nginx webserver comfortably. 
     I didn't choose -j6 out of anything more scientific than "well there's 4 cores so 
     let's make it j6 to keep it busy"
[2] implying maximum ambient is 33 for this case.
