Why is your compile 10 minutes? Mine is about 20 seconds for ~82000 lines of C++ (not comments), with 43000 header lines and 7669 lines of C (according to cloc), and that's on a 2008 quad-core Xeon Mac Pro.

Do you not parallel build?

130K LOC is an extremely small project. 10 minute compile steps are less common than they used to be, but early in my career I would have dreamed for 10 minute compile cycles.

Parallel build with 40 cores(2x intel xeons), 32GB ram using Visual Studio. According to cloc, we have 11k C++ files. 18k C/c++ header, with 4.5M lines of C++, and 1.5M C/C++ Header, and 700K C. We use a unity build to speed it up (to 10 minutes) without it, it's roughly 40 minutes.

He probably has more source code.
