Is it after make mrproper (wow)? Or is it when your branches are "recent"? Because for me (and well, I dont have that beefy boxes as you do) swithing between "for-linus" and "next" that based off a revision in vicinity of 2.6.xx-rc1 and "work" which tracks the tip of your tree takes time to rebuild.
