ie. use /MP on the cl.exe command line.

On the build machine (Windows Server 2007, Visual Studio 2010, 32 HT cores, 64GB ram) configuring with:

sh configure --enable-sjavac --with-freetype=/cygdrive/d/tools/freetype-amd64 --with-boot-jdk=/cygdrive/d/java/jdk-7-fcs-bin-b147/

(You need to patch src/share/classes/com/sun/tools/sjavac/server/CompilerThread.java line 256, change equals("windows)" to startswith("windows), this fix is going into tl soon.)

For such a simple patch it is a nice speedup. Please test and see if it improves the speed on your multi core machines.

Oh, and for reference this is the speed without sjavac but with /MP.
