Thanks for the suggestions. We have very few multi-module projects. Most of the time, the time is spent in the various stages - almost all of them shell scripts. I guess there is overhead of initializing the stages/spawning etc. I also think that Jenkins could be doing some serialization to be able to resume a failed build - which we don't really need as we'll probably start a fresh build anyway. That's my next area to explore.
