I'm convinced that most of the people complaining about build times are using docker for some incomprehensible reason and are blowing away the dependency cache with every build.



Nope. FWIW, I conpile on a MacBook. So I only have 2 cores, and laptop ones at that. Perhaps that's affecting our difference in perspective?

I also had a project a couple of years ago where I had to compile it in release mode to get reasonable performance for testing (Iw as processing GB's of data), which meant 2-3min incremental compile times. Not fun!


This. It's annoying to compile from scratch. But I almost never have to do that. So I don't really have a problem with compile times.
