On a personal project I run 2 metaprogramming passes, compile the entire project (~2m LoC) _twice_ and run the entire test suite in < 30s on a laptop from 2010.

On a personal project I run 2 metaprogramming passes, compile the entire project (~2m LoC) _twice_ and run the entire test suite in < 30s on a laptop from 2010. I don't run a linter because I hate them, and my metaprogramming passes do a bit of extra static checking clang doesn't. I occationally run extra static tools (valgrind et. al) but they're painfully slow and very rarely catch anything.
