For anyone else that stumbles upon this question because they have really slow build times. I managed to avoid the 2 minute long "Check Dependencies" stage by unchecking the following in this image http://i.stack.imgur.com/taXVc.png

What you can do is turn off implicit dependencies. Edit the build scheme that is slow and find the build option called Find Implicit Dependencies. You will see the schemes at the top-left. Just select Edit Scheme and once that sheet comes down select Build on the left as you see in the attached screenshot. Then click OK and try your build again. (You may want to disable it for other schemes as well.)
