Neat idea but too arbitrary unless you can figure out a way to quantify or measure an 'intensity score' in a scientific manner.

Linux From Scratch uses a Standard Build Unit (SBU) to quantify build times. They chose to use the time it takes to build binutils as the SBU. All other package compile times are expressed relative to it.
