That is completely crazy even for 1990.
(So crazy that you must either have added a couple of zeros or there's
something unusual you haven't mentioned (maybe the SE was emulating
another machine and that emulator was interpreted - badly. Or the files
were at the other end of a 300baud connection.)
A build time of nine hours means 3 lines per second for a 100Kloc app,
and 30 lps for a 1Mloc app.)
