>10 minutes for linking? The only projects I've touched which have had those kinds of link times have been behemoths like Chromium. That must absolutely suck to work with.

I don't know the exact amounts of time per phase, but you might change a header file and that will of course hurt you a lot more than 1 translation unit.

Yeah, but sometimes that's life. Reading the assembly and what not to figure things out.

Well, you know, I also get to work on something approximately as exciting as Chromium.
