> 8-core/16threaded Xeon CPU

What generation and what frequency?

Those things can be quite dissapointing for what they cost compared to consumer CPUs.

I would expect the 5950X to be around 3-6 times faster than an 8 core Xeon.

It's the Xeon W-2145.

I have the iMac Pro with the Xeon W-2150B and I definitely expected more compilation speed.

It's fast, sure, but for that price tag I expected more. Currently evaluating buying a TR 2950x workstation. That seems to be amazingly fast though my research on the net is still ongoing.
