<p>You can reduce the time it takes to run <code>./configure</code> by using <code>./configure -q -C</code>. <code>-q</code> is quiet and <code>-C</code> removes terminal printing and uses a cache (like ccache). It reduced Will's configure time from 29 seconds to 10 seconds.

Are there any other ways of speeding up the building of Bitcoin Core PRs other than ccache?

You can reduce the time it takes to run `./configure` by using `./configure -q -C`. `-q` is quiet and `-C` removes terminal printing and uses a cache (like ccache). It reduced Will's configure time from 29 seconds to 10 seconds. For more details see this [info page](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.60/html_node/Cache-Files.html).
