Well, then I don't have anything better to offer you I guess.  Heck, the
system I am working on is the fastest I have (takes about 30 minutes for
a 9-process make doc) and its processor is a thermal mismatch to the
laptop, dissipating 6 times as much power as your CPU because it has the
same number of cores:

model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz

The 2-core version it replaced takes only a bit more than 4 times the
power of your processor.  And, well, that's the system I got this year.
Because the older system with a P9300 (already an upgrade) was becoming
a bit long in the tooth.
