>I always wonder what kind of build process people use if the overhead of the build system outweighs the compile time itself.

Using Ninja as a benchmark, most of these higher level build systems take a lot of time to determine they have little to do, while ninja instantly determines this. The build performance rarely matters, the incremental build performance is where you waste a lot of time. Especially if you do TDD cycles.
