Exactly my problem, Yocto is becoming the Ubuntu of embedded Linux, and
like Ubuntu not everything is good about it. But vendors like Intel,
Xilinx, TI, etc. don't even know ptxdist exists, they all only offer
some Yocto layers.

Yeah the learning curve is steep, but that should not be a show stopper.

Over all I don't think bitbake is much slower than ptxdist, when
building from 0 to 100%. 

But when you want to do edit->compile->update iterations the "startup"
time for bitbake seems to be a killer. With ptxdist I just call
"./ptxdist compile bla" and I have no noticeable delay compared to
native compiling. That is something I extensively use with ptxdist, and
for Yocto that doesn't work (at least I don't know how) :-/
