Finally, this is just a friendly reminder that if you build

FTR, my Windows machine has 16GB of ram, 4 physical cores, and both SS
and spinning disks. A debug clobber build takes 34 minutes on the
spinning disk and 31 on the SSD - so the wins of an SSD on my box aren't
quite as large as I was expecting (I suspect the cores and 16GB of ram
is the most important for me, or maybe it's just that my 12 month old
Intel SSD isn't state-of-the-art anymore)
I think judging what the effects of changing one component would be on a
given system is all but trivial. I just did a clobber build on Windows
on a machine with 12 physical and 24 hyperthreaded cores and 32GB of RAM
in 35 mins. ;-)
I just did a build on my overclocked 64-core system with 8TB of RAM,
8-n-1 gigabit ethernet, G500 mouse and OH GOD I CAN SEE FOREVER ;-)
