How fast is it?  Is it really slow versus GNU make?

I would believe it to be very fast, but it's better to test it. It 
should be faster than makedepends&make. The make files are in Python syntax.

I haven't tried it myself, but the Blender project has just switched 
onto it, since it makes automake/autoconf obsolete (at least for their 
purposes?) as well.

I find that it spends a second grinding away figuring out dependancies, 
but it's plenty fast enough after that.

I prefer it because I find it nicer to work with, not because it's 
faster.  (for instance, SCons doesn't need to be told how to do a 'make 
clean'.  It knows)

I find the problem with make isn't the amount of time it spends 
compiling your code, it's the time you spend making it compile your code.
