Yes, but if you need to compile something, isn't it nice to have those threads?

- swiftcoder 3y agoIf your software takes that much resources to compile, you may already be on the wrong end of this equation
- Dylan16807 3y agoThat's a very weak "may". Different languages and compilers vary in speed by orders of magnitude, when fed similar code with similar running speed.
- JohnFen 3y agoI've never been terribly bothered by compile times in general. 90% of my work is with compiled languages, and (in most languages) incremental compilation does a great job of keeping compile times low. Even for large projects on slow machines, I rarely see compile times exceed even a minute. More usually, compiling just takes a few seconds. Sure, you do occasionally need to do a full recompile, and if the project is very large then this can take a nontrivial amount of time, but that doesn't really happen often enough for me to be bothered about. If the project is of really significant size, or if the compiler/language/code structure is such that incremental compilation can't give you significant gains (or isn't even possible), you may need more grunt of course.
