Hey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off making assumptions or prescribing advice. My intent was to illustrate that "new computer" doesn't have to mean "shiny, expensive, newly-manufactured computer". On reflection, my words do reflect my biases that investing one-to-two hundred dollars in such a setup wouldn't be a cause of much concern for me, and I regret that I assumed likewise for the readers. I totally agree with you that less bloated software should be our goal. Although, realistically, if you're compiling a modern web browser you don't have much of a choice in the matter (unfortunately). I don't think that reducing bloat by an order of magnitude (i.e. a difference that would impact compile times) is on the radar of Chromium or FF.
