Maybe some timestamp won't match anymore after logout/login. Use verbose build to se what it's doing.
Maybe even try ccache if that might help recompiles.

Ccache is installed and used by default, that's why the second compilation is much faster. I've no idea why logging out of scratchbox makes it longer for the OP though.

Do you have a bunch of spare cores in your CPU? I tend to increase the number of jobs to run in parallel based on the number of CPU's and cores I have. Eg.
make -j 4 bzImage
This should speed things along a tad assuming you have a quad core machine, though you can vary the number up or down depending.

If it's the same as Gentoo then it's -j total number of cores + 1

But if I quit scratchbox and re-login it again, and re-compile the kernel, the time is as long as the first time I do it. Does anyone know why? And how to solve this problem?
Thanks!
