Does anybody know how long it takes for a 1950X to compile the latest Linux kernel? I know that for 2xEPYC it is circa 15 seconds.

How things have improved. I remember my 386DX/33 with 4MB RAM + 16MB swap that took a little over 24 hours to compile a Linux kernel back in the mid-nineties ;-) Now get off my lawn kids..
