It would be interesting to know before-hand the to be expected compile time of ports on a "regular" PC.
Maybe i don't wait long enough. Maybe the port is broken ...

Reminds me of that occasion where we, after it reached 100%, just let it continue to count up to 105% (while doing nothing).that take 5 minutes to fill up to 99% then sit there for 25 minutes on the remaining 1%
And maybe recent lang/gcc* with LTO_BOOTSTRAP enabled?That's why I would take a sufficient complex port for a baseline and norm against that. Something that most people who build ports on their own hardware will build anyway and that will be at the start of most build sessions. Like xorg, or something else. Only an idea...
Considering that a new Threadripper costs nearly $10k USD for just the processor... and compatible parts command a sizable premium, as well... and new low-end stuff tends to match performance of premium stuff from about 10 years ago...Fast computer with many cores are pretty cheap these days.

I have both AM4 and AM5 - and AM5 is faster to compile rust.Likewise, AM4 systems can be had cheap now with as many cores as AM5 provides. Namely the 5950x with 16 full-speed cores, taking cheap DDR4 RAM. Also substantially less than $1000 and will probably do the job in 110-120 minutes if not faster.

Yeah, but for same amount of money, you can have an AM5 system that may have supposedly lower specs, but very similar, and sometimes even better performance on the same task.I was talking price/performance. AM4 systems can be had cheap with a lot of memory and still have 16 cores.
