Chromium is definitely the worst, and strangely variable. The last few compiles have taken between 6 and 14 hours. Since it takes longer than everything else to build, it is usually compiling on its own, so parallel emerges aren't a factor. Qtwebengine is also bad, not surprising as it is a cut down Chromium. Emerging world with --exclude then timing build to coincide with sleep helps, although I haven't quite reached the age where I need 14 hours of sleep a day. -- Neil Bothwick If it isn't broken, I can fix it.
