Had a -mcpu=cortext-a72 world and kernel been
installed and booted first? Was the system
running a world and kernel that had not been
tuned for the Cortex-A72?

This does not show ccache being cleared out
before the below. So the times may be examples
of "with ccache benefit" times. The contrast
with mine and Bob P.'s times suggests a
nice time-benefit can occur.

I seem to get intermittent access to
https://cloud.zyxst.net/ but got to
see the file content eventually.

Thanks much for the information.
