@lunaryom You have three separate questions here. 1: how to build emacs fast, 2: why does emacs 25 build slower than emacs 24.5 and 3: how to make make install run silently. So please split these into 3 questions so they can be tracked separately and edit this accordingly to stick with one question.

@politza What files? I know that I need to run ./autogen.sh to generate configure, but that's a matter of seconds, not minutes.

Are you planning doing this on some sort of CI platform? If not what kind of computer are you using? Obviously the build speed is going to be very dependent on your processor, but for me ./configure --with... && make -j (number of cores * 1.5) finishes in 30 seconds. If you are running on a local machine, make sure to use the -j argument to make. Is there a good reason for you to do make install? This will add a little bit of time you could avoid if you just run emacs from the src directory.
