You have not provided enough information to allow anyone to give you a 
comprehensive answer to your question.

I can give you a generic answer to your question, though.

Your compilation tool a long time because the compiler was doing lots of 
complicated things that didn't require any system calls.

Process time is split into "the length of time the process waited while the OS 
serviced a process-initiated system call, such as open() or read()" and "the 
rest of the time that the process took to execute". Your "system call time" 
(or "sys") is 0 minutes, 0.099 seconds, while your "everything else time" (or  
"user") is 6 minutes, 8.142 seconds. That's all we can tell from the 
information you supplied.
