Not sure if you run linux on your workstation, but you can run Qemu on it
and create an ARM guest (same guest OS as raspbian, etc) to compile all the
software and then just copy the packages over.  I know my laptop is leaps
and bounds faster than the Pi.  Compiling MythTV may not be too slow, but
compiling kernels, etc - you can see a great speedup.  Also, using distcc
will greatly improve speed.  If you cannot tell, I hate waiting on
computers :)

Just food for thought.
