Slightly curious, what kind of projects were you working on that are "several hundred million LoC"... wouldn't 45-minutes be reasonable for that many lines of code?

I ask because I've never even come close to touching a project with that many SLOC and I was also under the impression that most modern operating systems are barely fitting into 100million+ LoC category, correct? This is your chance to redefine my perspective on "big project" haha.

A lot of the code may be automatically generated.

Some C# developers use T4 to generate data access code, for instance. This can amount to several hundred thousand lines of code for a moderately sized database. If there are several large databases being accessed, like is often the case in reality, then I could easily see there being millions of lines of automatically generated code in a single project.
