The same is true for all other pieces of software.
Build time will always increase until no one can be bothered to build it any more.
- fourfour3 2y agoI think you've missed the point: > I wonder, if you were to script all the commands you ran back in the day, and ran that same script on your old 386 and on a modern system with a top-of-the-line AMD Epyc or Intel Xeon, how much faster would it run? Implies you're compiling the 386 era versions of Linux - so the fact modern Linux is larger is immaterial.
