Compiling Chromium took absolutely forever 5+ years ago. I think a whole system took like 20% of the time that Chromium would take to compile. I can't even imagine with rust extensions added on top now. Gentoo was so awesome though but I had to switch to debian because I would just play with my configuration all the time and break things. One day I hope to return to using it though or setup another machine to use it.

So basically they'd be new CVE's appearing by the time someone built the previous release at this pace? :P

I was ok with Chromium alone taking ~6h. I moved away when I started experimenting with Rust.

No ccache?
