I was building Chromecast most often, not Chromium itself. So can't really recall. For Chromecast, from clean, it was around 10 minutes.

That sounded pretty reasonable until I realized you were talking about that beast of a workstation that can easily be between $25,000-80,000.

Pfft.... 10 minutes to compile, no sweat, not even enough time to brew and drink a tea/coffee.

Not 5 years ago when it was first provisioned for me.

That's $8,000 for a refurbished computer with a processor that was launched in 2013.
