title: How to speed up Linux kernel compilation?
body: <p>I have core i5 with 8gb RAM.
  I have VMware workstation 10.0.1 installed on my machine.
  I have fedora 20 Desktop Edition installed on VMware as guest OS.</p>
  
  <p>I am working on Linux kernel source code v 3.14.1. I am developing an I/O scheduler for Linux kernel. After any modifications in code every time it takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes for compiling and installing the whole kernel code to see the changes.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Compilation and Installation commands:</strong>
  <code>make menuconfig</code>,
  <code>make</code>,
  <code>make modules</code>,
  <code>make modules_install</code>,
  <code>make install</code></p>
  
  <p>So my question is it possible to reduce 1 hour and 30 minutes time into only 10 to 15 minutes?</p>
