The only thing built is a small bootstrap program that downloads 
a prebuilt binary release, that's why it's fast. Before v0.5.0, 
DLS was always compiled, and that took some time, as well as 3 GB 
of your RAM...

That's weird. What OS are you using ? There was a bug at some 
point with symlink creation on Windows, but it should be fixed 
now. For some reason it takes a crazy amount of time instead now, 
30 seconds for a simple symlink...
