I'm wondering if you could set up a permanent cache file for
./configure (like ~/.config.cache) and pass it to ./configure every
time you build software so that it can cache answers and speed the
process up a bit? Is this possible, and how much faster would it
make ./configure?
Create PREFIX/etc/config.site, put something like (tweak it to your
liking):
if test "$cache_file" = ./config.cache; then
cache_file="$prefix/var/config.cache"
# A cache file is only valid for one C compiler.
CC=gcc

in it, and you're done. This is noted in the manual for GNU autoconf
by the way, notably in (autoconf)Site Defaults.
