Fastest Way To Compile Linux Kernel

Linux
#1

Hello, I am just learning about Linux Kernel Compilation, After choosing my options using make menuconfig, So I decided to compile the linux kernel using make -j 8 bzImage and make -j 8 modules, It’ really taking time to compile the kernel, Any fastest way to do that to minimize time?
