I didn't notice dsss has such a large overhead, is this due to dsss parsing
the whole source, or has it something to do with how it compiles
applications? If it is the latter, perhaps that's amenable with some
configuration?

Dsss does multicore builds, that probably cancels out the overhead on my
machine.
