Please back this claims with concrete numbers. Because I am sure it is not the case. For an instance, consider the package julia@1.6.3 built on Berlin: 1061.9+11122.3=12184.2 seconds [1] vs 1183.4+10081.1=11264.5 [2] vs 1040.7+9559.4=10600.1 [3], therefore, the worst case is: (12184.2 - 10600.1)/60 = 26.4016666667 min The variance here is obvious. And it totally depends on the value itself; the error is relative. LFS are using *exactly* what you are proposing and they document the deviation. Please follow the 2 links there [4]. I am available to share my overall timings for some packages. 1: <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1654363/log/raw> 2: <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1740157/log/raw> 3: <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1793062/log/raw> 4: <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-11/msg00157.html> All the best, simon
