Any decently sized C++ or Swift code base is going to have compile times way over 5s. Many just moderately sized projects have build times over 10 minutes.

My current codebase is 28 hours for a full build on one machine...

I dread having to update the compiler or some core "used nearly everywhere" header file, and wait a whole another 28 hours...

This is for a full rebuild, right? If you're changing a few files it shouldn't have to recompile + relink everything.

For moderate to large projects, link time can be a huge factor even for incremental builds. It might be that faster IO is the better investment, though.
