You could try pulling in:
http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=ede381d56b180b384fdad98d445e5430819cfade
http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=7857834691868b7f48f732ee78d8770f5473ff68
http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=fd88588df029604689db9b0e30c55aad68392a5d

and see if they fix the problem. I'm not sure that they would in a
single task case but who knows. You could also try adding timings as per
my previous email, the change to package.bbclass was simply:

diff --git a/meta/classes/package.bbclass b/meta/classes/package.bbclass
index 8e7fa26..8b0cb96 100644
--- a/meta/classes/package.bbclass
+++ b/meta/classes/package.bbclass
@@ -1082,6 +1082,7 @@ python package_do_package () {
                return
 
        for f in (bb.data.getVar('PACKAGEFUNCS', d, True) or '').split():
+               bb.error("Running %s" % f)
                bb.build.exec_func(f, d)
 }
 do_package[dirs] = "${SHLIBSWORKDIR} ${PKGDESTWORK} ${D}"

as I'd like to understand of the 23 minutes, where the time is being spent.

Cheers,
