FWIW, I included "make check" time in compilation time (from Guix' perspective, running tests is just yet another compilation). And the computer I use for compilation isn't exactly modern -- according to the timestamp on /etc/host.conf, it's ~16 years old ... wait no, cannot be right ... I'm not sure about the exact year, but at least ~5 years I'd say? And that's the current computer (*) which has an SSD, whereas the computer(^) I used back then for GNUnet was older and had an old spinning disk. I guess that isn't representative. (*) currently held together by duck tape, missing a few screws, keys, part of the frame and has a crack in the screen -- I cannot recommend Lenovo Yoga computers. (^) screen is broken unless a sea star is inserted between the keyboard and the screen in the right place at the right depth and angle. Greetings, Maxime.
