No I don't think so.

I suspect this is the well known bjam startup penalty. If I
understand it correctly, it amounts to the overhead involved in
recreating the dependency graph and determining out of date targets
each time bjam starts up (about 5 minutes on a slower system, around
90 seconds on a faster one).
One way to test this is to cd to boost/status, edit the Jamfile to
remove all libraries/test except for (in your case) system/test, and
rerun bjam, does it still take 5+ minutes before patience ends and
targets start building?
