I'm not all that surprised by the small improvement on regular C++ code: the last decade hasn't seen radical changes in how this is done; compiler innovation has been elsewhere with only the SIMD story seen in this article. I was surprised by the lousy build times, though. The choice of WSL2 as platform introduces a few confounders, especially filesystem performance, which might distort the differences between build times in particular. If someone wants to get a better understanding of what's going on, maybe a breakdown of where the time is spent or performing the benchmarks on other platforms would be a good idea.
