There's irony in the past that Chromium was faster to build than Firefox because Firefox needed rust to also be built...
But anyway Firefox mostly take 1.5 hours or less on most of my aging regular computers (again with distcc help). I figure I should make my PVR help with distcc jobs if it is recording anyway...
How bad is webkit-gtk based browsers for compliance these days? Compared to firefox and qtwebengine/chromium ?
Chromium build time 36 hours??

Split off the Firefox discussion into its own topic: firefox-115.9.0 - Assertion failure: i < NUM_TEST_EV.... —Chiitoo
(That 30 hours for a "world build" seems a bit of a lot of hours to me still though for that machine, trying to remember what it takes for my 6-core Phenom... speaking of which, that one built "www-client/chromium-35.0.1916.86 in 42 minutes" back in 2014... but I digress!)
Giving enough of RAM to building of things tends to improve things, as many others have already mentioned here. :]lyallp wrote:Gave up after 3 and a half DAYS.
Completely rebuilt my system from the ground up (--empty-tree @world @system) took 30 hours
Re-build chromium, took 9 hours! Huge improvement!
