Does more cpu cores mean less compile time?
I am searching for a new computer, which is the best cpu? Is it possible to write the compile time in the Lazarus output window?

No.

Best results gave an Core i7-2600 so far. Overclocking an 2600k or getting a 2700 might give even better result ;)

Lets say with this cpu there is 10 seconds compiletime. Which compiletime have other cpu's?

Doing a 'make' for the FPC project, multiple cores can be used (via eg: -j 5 command line parameter on a quad core system). But I think the multi-core is only used when the makefile process starts compiling the FCL which is independent of other packages in the FCL. But yes, I believe you were refering to compiling a single project, so then your answer is correct. ;-)
